Omschrijving

In it, a small band of warriors and mystics raise their swords to save Europe from a bloodthirsty Mongol invasion. Inspired by their leader (an elder of an order of warrior monks), they embark on a perilous journey and uncover the history of hidden knowledge and conflict among secret societies that had been shaping world events for millennia.

“This off-beat alternate history of Eurasia could be your new obsession.” —i09.com “This story is pure adventure, with much swordplay and swashbuckling.” —Kirkus Reviews “A terrifically engaging book that pulled me along at least as quickly as The Hunger Games. Think Lord of the Rings without all that pesky fantasy…Five frighteningly accurate historical sword fights out of five.” —Fanboy Comics “While there might be some truth to the saying “too many cooks spoil the broth”, it doesn’t apply to The Mongoliad: Book One. In fact it’s a distinct advantage in a book where we see the world through the eyes of such a diverse group of people. Differences in voice make each character a distinct individual while not detracting from the story’s coherency or cohesion. The overall narrative actually flows far more smoothly than usual for a book covering as much ground as this one, as events build upon themselves naturally and logically. While there’s no indication as to who wrote which parts it ends up being irrelevant. After the first few pages you’ll find yourself so wrapped up in the story you’ll no longer care who the author is, you’ll just want to turn the page to find out what happens next.” —Blogcritics

Nicole Galland is the author of I, Iago, as well as The Fool’s Tale, Revenge of the Rose, and Crossed: A Tale of the Fourth Crusade. An award-winning screenwriter, she is married to actor Billy Meleady and, unlike all her handsome and talented co-writers, spends no time at all hitting people with sticks in Seattle. Cooper Moo spent five minutes in Mongolia in 1986 before he had to get back on the train—he never expected to be channeling Mongolian warriors. In 2007 Cooper fought a Chinese long-sword instructor on a Hong Kong rooftop—he never thought the experience would help him write battle scenes. In addition to being a member of The Mongoliad writing team, Cooper has written articles for various magazines. His autobiographical piece “Growing Up Black and White,” published in the Seattle Weekly, was awarded Social Issues Reporting article of the year by the Society of Professional Journalists.
