Bones
of the Hills (Conqueror 3) 
Author: Conn Iggulden
A boy was abandoned in the wilderness by his tribe -- but he
did not die. As those Iggulden admirers who have read Wolf of
the Plains and Lords of the Bow will know, this luckless boy has
grown into one of the most feared and powerful figures in
history, Genghis Khan. He has persuaded the tribes that had been
tearing each other to pieces to ignore their differences and
unite under his leadership to battle their oldest enemies. Under
his ruthless (and ferociously inspired) leadership, a mighty
nation has been forged. But this is only the beginning of his
struggles: Khan sends out emissaries, but they are tortured and
killed. He attempts to open trade routes; his efforts are met
with violent rebuff. Soon, the Mongolian army is stretched to
the furthest corners of Khan's realm, and destruction looms.
