Currently reading this- a good insight into the events leading upto the insurgency in Iraq and current troubles in Syria.

I read Full Whack by Charlie Higson a few months back- was laugh out loud at times and well worth a read.

Cheers.

excellent book.think i have seen it on here before.it is the second book of a 5 part series on genghis khan and his family.didn't think i would like them but once you starting reading them,very hard to put down.

Outrageously good. I'm on the last one of his war of the roses series. The Emperor series is equally superb!

I'm really looking forward to this, there's a fair bit of potential to spin it off and keep the story going in that universe for a while. I also love the fella they cast for Mr. Wednesday.

I'm a big fan of historical fiction and a big fan of this author. His Caesar and Genghis Khan series are brilliant reads as well. This one is the first in a series about the Tudors and is beginning with the reign of Henry the VI and covers all of the reasons why the war of the roses came to be. There's a load of characters in this one and I have a feeling there will be time skips as well so it could get confusing but I'm enjoying it right now.

I had thought it was a trilogy that ended with Genghis and was very happy to find there were two other books about Ogedai and Kublai a month ago. Devoured them and moved onto Stormbird War Of The Roses.

Can anyone recommend a good read? Thriller, can't put it down type of thing...

I haven't been able to find anything as engrossing as the Stieg Larsson trilogy since I finished them a few years ago.

Ya it seemed like it had come to a conclusion and then I was looking up new stuff and found the other two books.

Have you ever read anything by Jack Whyte? He does a good few historical series (Arthur, Templars, William Wallace Rebellions), I'm also a fan of Bernard Cornwell's Uhtred of Bebbanburg series.
