KANEOHE, HI, Nov. 11, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Everyone has his own ambition and dreams of grandeur. And with people who fight wars and conquer their enemies, their passion is tremendous and even overwhelming. But with most warriors, the humanity in them is easily overwhelmed by their ambitions, and with this they become less human, completely forgetting the values and morality that made them. The conflict between humanity, family values, and war are tackled by author Nathaniel H.C. Kim as he presents the final chapter of the Qans Trilogy with his compelling novel Sarai.
Sarai tells an enduring story of war focusing on Batu Qan, the senior prince and first grandson of the Qa Qan Ogodei. Appointed Qan of his father's Golden Horde, Batu is determined to achieve his father's dream and lead the horde to glory and build the fabulous city of Sarai. But he soon discovers that an age-old and powerful enemy, the Merkit stands in his way. Accompanied by his brother, Berke, their sister, Holuiqan and their adopted mother, Aisha, Princess of Khwarazm, Batu sets out to complete the final leg of this lifelong journey and fulfill the vow he made to his father years before or die trying.
Engaging and richly-layered, Sarai is a war epic that depicts the tragedy of war, political conquests, humanity and family altogether with sheer precision and lively detail. The book, which tackles the balance between family and goals, is bound to attract countless readers, including adventure and action buffs, historians, military personnel and people with interest in the history of Cinggis Qan and the Mongols. Author Nathaniel H.C. Kim has crafted a book that readers will find irresistible and even educational. Get a copy of this book today!
