Empire of moghul series by alex rutherford torrent download

Jahangir, the triumphant Moghul Emperor and ruler of most of the Indian subcontinent, is doomed. No amount of wealth and ruthlessness can protect him from his sons' desire for power. The glorious Moghul throne is worth any amount of bloodshed and betrayal; once Jahangir raised troops against his own father; now he faces a bloody battle with Khurram, the ablest of his warring sons. Worse is to come. Just as the heirs of Timur the Great share intelligence, physical strength, and utter ruthlessness, they also have a great weakness for wine and opium.

Once Jahangir is tempted, his talented wife, Mehrunissa, is only too willing to take up the reins of the empire. And with Khurram and his half-brothers each still determined to be their father's heir, the savage battle for the Moghul throne will be more ferocious than even Timur could have imagined.

The Tainted Throne, the fourth installment in Alex Rutherford's internationally bestselling historical adventure series, is set in the Moghul Empire, featuring a culture reminiscent of the Dothraki in A Game of Thrones.

Reviewer: wazedbiplob - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - May 1, Subject: Raider from the north History is often tiresome and seems boring to people who doesn't like it's long detailed narrative.

As a curious student of the subject of Mughal dynasty I found this to be a fantastic read and highly recommend it. Brillianr narrative style but questionable authenticity of content By Swapna Captivating narration - brought vivid images to life. Recreated history brilliantly.

But having read some other stuff about the Mughal emperors, I felt the authors did tamper with some real events in the name of creative liberty. I didn't like how they glossed over Babur's relation with Baburi. That one deliberate change in how the relationship is portrayed made me question the authenticity of most projected in the book. I read it as a work of fiction with brilliant narration to enjoy and not as a work of history to learn from.

Atin Basu The writing style may be a little sophomoric but the subject matter is spellbinding. And the author does capture some of the grand sweep of the central Asian landscape along with the history. Rutherford, in spite of the writing, does provide a very interesting sketch of Babur's character.
