Description
The Mongoliad: Book One by Neal Stephenson and others is an epic tale of adventure and war set in 13th century Europe. A small band of warriors and mystics must confront the threat of a bloodthirsty Mongol invasion, uncovering hidden knowledge and conflict among powerful secret societies that have shaped world events for millennia. The story begins with Sir Richard F. Burton, an expert on exotic languages and historical swordsmanship, who is approached by a mysterious group about translating a collection of long-lost manuscripts. The project is left unfinished at his death, but the work is rediscovered years later by amateur archaeologists in Italy. From this collection, the incredible tale of The Mongoliad was recreated. With its high adventure, unforgettable characters, and unflinching battle scenes, The Mongoliad ignites a dangerous quest where willpower and blades are tested. This edition is the definitive version, created through the authors' supervision to provide a cohesive reading experience.
