Critics Review

A totally absorbing narrative filled with authentic historical characters and sweeping action set in an age of horrifying but magnificent savagery. The writing is as compelling as the events described and kept me eagerly leaping from one page to the next - Wilbur Smith

Rutherford’s glorious, broad-sweeping adventure in the wild lands of the Moghul sees the start of a wonderful series…In Babur, he has found a real-life hero, with all the flaws, mistakes and misadventures that spark true heroism… Breathtaking stuff - Manda Scott

‘Alex Rutherford has set the bar high for his sequels’ - Daily Mail

Alex Rutherford brings the period and the history of the region alive. The characters are dynamic, and the deadly regional politics of alliances and treaties are reflected by the internal tensions at court - US Historical Novel Society
