The Mongoliad: The Foreworld Saga, Book 1

In the late 19th century, Sir Richard F. Burton, a noted expert on languages and swordsmanship, found himself translating a collection of long-lost manuscripts provided by a secretive group of English martial artists. After being misplaced for years, these translations were rediscovered by amateur archaeologists in a ruined mansion, leading to the creation of The Mongoliad. This captivating first installment of the trilogy recounts the journey of a band of warriors and mystics battling against the Mongol invasion of the 13th century, while revealing the hidden influence of powerful clandestine societies throughout history. Co-authored by notable writers including Neal Stephenson and Greg Bear, it blends historical events with a gripping narrative.
