Publisher's Summary
An untested group of Shield-Brethren initiates stand before the sprawling Mongol army in a bloody circus of sadistic violence, while a hardened company of their finest roam the desolate wasteland of the Mongol empire, wrapping their dead in blood-soaked soil and struggling to find the strength to fight even as they mourn. The warrior-monks, both in the East and the West, sharpen their swords for a final battle. The Khan of Khans must be slain if Christendom is to survive.
A sweeping historical interpretation of the battle for Europe against the invading Mongols and their ruthless Khan, The Mongoliad: Book Three brings the epic adventures of the Shield-Brethren to a brutal and thrilling conclusion.

"Not Enough Storytelling"
I was really disappointed at The Mongoliad series and book 3 was a total let down. Book 1 was awesome, but the two later books was a total waste of time. It seems like Neal Stephenson and company lost focus after writing book 1. I thought that book 3 would never end because all you ever read is the battle and killings. 90% of the story is pure action, where you just get bored with the constant stabbing between the tribes. There is very little plot behind the battles. The election of the new pope was interesting, but the story gets lost in the constant wars. The series just gets tiring to read because its very one sided with way too much action and not enough storytelling. I would read the first book and skip the rest.

"Weak story"
The performances were excellent. There were lots of interesting characters, good dialogue, and graphic descriptions. A bit to much of the latter. Christians against Mongols was the main theme and it was interesting but, we already know how that turned out. The other stuff, Popes and cardinals, witches and urchins, and warrior nuns, seemed pointless and unrelated. History wise, I come away wondering what to believe. That may be a good thing.

"Keeps getting better!"
What did you love best about The Mongoliad: The Foreworld Saga, Book 3?Everything! This world is just fascinating! I especially love the shield brethren though, and the shield maidens.
Have you listened to any of Luke Daniels’s other performances before? How does this one compare?He is brilliant, as always, but it is always hard to understand what Raphael is saying.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?I was devastated with what happened to Andreas!
Any additional comments?Just a fantastic series, I've listened to the lot and have now bought the print versions to read again. I'm going through the prequels now, I just can't get enough of these stories!

"This Book Rocks"
Would you listen to The Mongoliad: The Foreworld Saga, Book 3 again? Why?Yes: the book is starts at great tempo and finishes with a bang I think the only down point is that the next book will need to bow this one away.
P.S. if you like Luke Daniels this is for you.
Who was your favorite character and why?Gansukh: the way he learns to live in both worlds
What does Luke Daniels bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?He makes you feel like you are the character and just makes you feel welcome
Any additional comments?This is not a waist of time
