The Mongoliad: Book One by Neal Stephenson, Greg Bear, Mark Teppo, E D deBirmingham, Erik Bear, Joseph Brassey, Cooper Moo, Nicole Galland (CD-Audio, 2015)
Fusing historical events with a gripping fictional narrative, this first book in the Mongoliad trilogy reveals a secret history of Europe in the thirteenth century. As the Mongols swept across Asia and were poised to invade Europe in 1241, a small band of warriors, inheritors of an ancient secret tradition, conceived a desperate plan to stop the attack. They must kill the Khan of Khans; if they fail, all of Christendom will be destroyed. In the late nineteenth century a mysterious group of English martial arts aficionados provided Sir Richard F. Burton, well-kwn expert on exotic languages and historical swordsmanship, a collection of long-lost manuscripts to translate the lost chronicles of this desperate fight to save Europe. Burton s translations were lost, until a team of amateur archaeologists discovered them in the ruins of a mansion in Trieste. From the translations and from the original source material, the epic tale of The Mongoliad was recreated.
