Conquerors

Alexander the Great: The Brief Life and Towering Exploits of History's Greatest Conqueror--As Told By His ...

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2004

The "GREATEST" OF THE "GREAT"
Alexander the Great, was born on or around July 20, 356 B.C.E., and is my favorite personality to read about in history. To me he is the whole package general, statesman, conqueror, and philosopher. The smartest man who ever lived, Aristotle, tutored him. Alexander ...

Conqueror: Time's Tapestry Book Two (Time's Tapestry)

Stephen Baxter

Ace Hardcover, 2007

a fabulous fictionalized account
As predicted by the the Menologium of the Blessed Isolde Prophecy, invincible Rome is no more especially in the remote areas like Britannia (see EMPEROR); gone by AD 409. These nine stanzas, written on parchment in the Old English, predict the rise and fall of the ...

The Cancer Conqueror: An Incredible Journey to Wellness

Greg Anderson

Andrews Mcmeel Pub, 1990

I am a survivor!
I can't say enough good words about this book or its contents. It was given to me as a gift from a friend after I had already undergone treatments. I try to make sure I give it to friends either before or during treatments. I don't want them to waste a minute ...

Hellboy Volume 5: Conqueror Worm

Mike Mignola

Dark Horse, 2004

The worm crawls in...
The last collection(for now..sigh) ends with a big bang as Mike Mignola continues to delve into the history of those pesky nazis. As Indiana Jones would say,I hate those guys! Just as Steven Spielberg understands and honors all those pulp stories in his Indiana Jones ...

Vienna 1814: How the Conquerors of Napoleon Made Love, War, and Peace at the Congress of Vienna

David King

Harmony, 2008

Criers of Vive La Roi...Doers of nothing
Author David King has written a new book about a subject often dismissed as little more than the antecedent to Napoleon's 100 days campaign. Most books written on this topic were written years ago and with a predictable bent. Mr. King's book is both an objective and ...

The Conqueror

Brenda Joyce

Dell, 1996

I love this BAD book!
Is this book brutal? Yeap. Is it painful to read at times? You Betcha. Do I love it? Absolutely! Why? Because it is a story about a brutal time, when men were warriors and women often no more than polictical pawns and even with those facts, I still get goose bumps ...

Conquests And Cultures: An International History

Thomas Sowell

Basic Books, 1999

Stings have no venom.
Despite their best efforts, those who reviewed this book negatively or dismissed it as "been there, done that" expose that either their own preconceived notions ran afoul with Sowell's book. Or, their sacred cows were stripped down to expose the cheap hamburger of ...

Curry: A Tale of Cooks and Conquerors

Lizzie Collingham

Oxford University Press, USA, 2007

Food as History
If your first taste of India was in a high school world history class, where you struggled to engorge and disgorge the indigestible names and exploits of Mughals, rajahs, and viceroys, this book will cleanse your palate. Dr. Cunningham uses the story of the development ...

Tamerlane: Sword of Islam, Conqueror of the World

Justin Marozzi

Da Capo Press, 2007

Missing the Mark
If you're looking for a detailed, clear narrative of Tamerlane's life and achievements, Justin Marozzi's book is not it. Failing to develop Tamerlane as an individual from his youth onward, and failing to explain exactly how he came to be so successful, Marozzi diverts ...

The Conqueror Worms

Brian Keene

Leisure Books, 2006

Keene does it again
I am an avid Keene fan. His zombie books are fun and original, and this story didn't disappoint either. It has been raining for 42 days and nights, and most of the world is now under water. No one is sure what has brought about this apocalyptic event and to the ...

Conquerors' Legacy (The Conquerors Saga, Book Three)

Timothy Zahn

Spectra, 1996

About the trilogy - I actually found myself THERE
I was surprised to read some negative reviews about one or more book of the trilogy: Conquerors' Pride, Heritage and Legacy. The first book is narrated from an almost exclusively human viewpoint. The second book shows things from the alien viewpoint and Zahn uses it ...

ABSOLUTELY, TOTALLY FABULOUS BOOK!
