THE first in a series of five novels depicting the rise and fall of the Moghul Empire gets off to a rip-roaring start with the adventures of the founder, Babur. Forced to be a warrior since the age of 12, after the death of his father, he survives assassination attempts, bloody family quarrels and even bloodier invasion in Ferghana and Samarkand before conquering the fabulous city of Delhi. Brilliant and blood-thirsty and with a real-life hero who lives for honour, glory and the way of the hero.
