Historical Fiction at its Best

"Snow Warrior" is the story of Subotai an orphaned Mongol that rises up to be the right hand of the great Ghengis Khan. Tomes have been written about Tumajin (Ghengis Khan) but almost nothing about the mysterious Subotai; the man that lead much of the Khan's armies into incredible victories. Subotai's story begins with the young orphan surviving the harsh plains and the even harsher treatment that an orphan might face in a fiercely nomadic society. As a teen, the Mongol sees a young blond haired girl that becomes his lifetime quest to meet and marry. The quest leads him to become a trapper of birds, a trader, a guardsman, a father and husband, a student of Indian Martial arts and philosphy and finally the Right hand of great Khan. Few books have it all. But "snow Warrior" comes very close. It has action and humor but more importantly it shows the great Spiritual quest that all true humans must undertake. IF yo can find a copy of this book get it...you won't be dissappointed.

The rarest of gems--priceless.

A realtive loaned me Snow Warrior a few years ago and I have been seeking a copy for myself ever since. What an adventure. It is thrilling, spellbinding, unforgetable. You will never forget Subotai, I promise. For the life of me I don't understand why it is not better known. If I had enough money I would buy it myself for anyone who would read it. No adventure reader should miss out on this one -- do yourself a big favor; get it now. ( I have no financial interest in this book whatsover, and I don't know the author )

Magnificient!

This book about Subotai Bahadur, greatest general of Genghis Khan, is absolutely stunning. I was lucky to find a copy of it and read it several times. I loaned it to someone a few years ago and am desperately searching for another one. That should tell you how much I liked it. A great book of historical fiction.
