Critics Review
The prose is athletic, the action never lags … Rutherford writes like a crack reporter covering war from the front lines.
As with the two previous books, this is well researched, while the deadly intrigues and the sight and sounds of the Moghul court are colourfully and effectively portrayed. The battle scenes are exciting…the writing is seamless. This series has developed into a fascinating insight into the rise and fall of a great and glorious dynasty. Bloody battles, brutal killings and treachery - what more could you ask for? - US Historical Novel Society

The writing is as compelling as the events described and kept me eagerly leaping from one page to the next - Wilbur SmithRutherford’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 stuffAbout The Author
