Title: Conn Iggulden Books
Post by: Gusington on March 02, 2022, 10:55:23 AM
This guy has written like 100 titles and I haven't read any of them. Looking at The Falcon of Sparta - anyone a fan? Can anyone recommend any others?

I have his tripple volume titled Caesar, a novel-like style , but based on research about the lives of Julius and Marcus. I enjoyed all three very much, but I don't have the knowledge to verify how close to reality these tomes are.

Thanks - he has written so many books it is mind boggling.

I read "The Falcon of Sparta" and was unimpressed to the point where I've never tried any of his other works.  Your local public library is your friend.

I'm with Matt.  I started his series about Genghis Khan but it never really clicked with me and I gave up after the first book.  His style reminded me of Dan Brown.
