Acerca de esta escucha
The Holy Land, 1260.
Josseran Sarrazini is chosen to escort the Pope's emissary on an embassy to the all-conquering Mongol horde in an effort to save all Christendom from destruction. But although he serves as a Templar warrior, Josseran is not all that he appears to be - and he despises the Pope's man on sight.
Now they have to spend nine months in each other's company on the most dangerous and most inhospitable journey on the earth - across the legendary deserts of Persia, through the horrific black hurricanes of the Taklimakan, along the entire spider's web of the Silk Road to Khubilai Khan's legendary capital at Xanadu. When he sets out, Josseran cannot know then that he will never see Christendom again.
Meanwhile, somewhere near the Roof of the World, a Tatar princess possessing a gift for prophecy, defies her father's attempts to marry her off to the sons of other tribal chiefs. She does not belong in her world any more than Josseran belongs in his.
Now fate will bring their paths on a collision course somewhere on the Silk Road and change the course of her life, and Josseran's, forever.
From the Storehouse of Winds to the Palace of Myriad Tranquillities, from the Pamirs and Hindu Kush to the legendary Xanadu and the dazzling court of Khubilai Khan, this is romance and adventure on a breathtaking scale.
Contains mature themes.

Historia
Joseph Lazare grows up believing his black hair and olive skin come from a Spanish grandmother, and he’s shocked to learn she was an enslaved African. At 13, Joseph allows racial prejudice to limit his future and chooses the seminary. At 23, he is ordained “a priest forever”. When he meets Tessa Conley, a devout Irish immigrant who shares his passions for music and botany, Joseph’s ordered world cracks at its foundation. He must conceal his true feelings as Tessa marries another man—a plantation owner who treats her like property.

In 2011, a 26-year-old libertarian programmer named Ross Ulbricht launched the ultimate free market: the Silk Road, a clandestine website hosted on the Dark Web where anyone could trade anything - drugs, hacking software, forged passports, counterfeit cash, poisons - free of the government's watchful eye. It wasn't long before the media got wind of the new website where anyone - not just teenagers and weed dealers but terrorists and black hat hackers - could buy and sell contraband detection-free.

The tale begins in Dark Age Britain, a land where Arthur has been banished and Merlin has disappeared, where a child-king sits unprotected on the throne, where religion vies with magic for the souls of the people. It is to this desperate land that Arthur returns, a man at once utterly human and truly heroic: a man of honor, loyalty, and amazing valor; a man who loves Guinevere more passionately than he should; a man whose life is at once tragic and triumphant.

Historia
Favereau takes us inside one of the most powerful sources of cross-border integration in world history. The Horde was the central node in the Eurasian commercial boom of the 13th and 14th centuries and was a conduit for exchanges across thousands of miles. Its unique political regime - a complex power-sharing arrangement among the khan and the nobility - rewarded skillful administrators and diplomats and fostered an economic order that was mobile, organized, and innovative.

Don’t listen with headphones
The narrator almost whispers while reading but is several decibels higher when doing a character’s voice. Sometime it’s very difficult to listen to.

The story and the vivid description of the landscape and surroundings.
The narrator was very good. What I disliked in the story was the tarter princess having to die such a horrible death because of that sanctimonious priest.

Silk Road is a rocky ride
I had a very hard time getting into this story. Once in, I found it a chore to read some parts. That being said, I mostly liked the book. A crusader and a priest travel from the holy land to the court of Kublai Khan in Cathay. there are lots of gory parts, as this was a very brutal time in history. At one point I doubted a method of execution, looked it up, and found it was actually used. I did not attach myself to either of the two lead characters, though I liked one and disliked the other. Further reading did not change this view, so I am assuming that was the author's intent. I liked the book more as a lesson in the barbarity of human kind than anything else. I believe the story is very well planned, and it did keep me reading past the parts I found distasteful due to violence. (Like I said, it was a violent time period.)
Many people recommended this series, so I will read the next book in the series before deciding if I want to spend additional money and time on the later books.

A good story with a strong ending
I am not he biggest fan of this voice actress. It’s nothing egregious more a personal preference. The writing is good but the subject matter is well researched. I would say that is the strong point off this tale. A lot of good solid historical references that seem to fit the actual histories I have read.
Of course there is some license but it was well thought out. Will definitely check out his other titles

Solid read!
Enjoyed this book a lot. Enjoyed the storyline, characters and the merge of worlds. Tough to listen to at times due to gruesome scenes. Narrator was good but I listen before bed and the volume of different characters would range so heads up if you’re a bed listener. Overall, recommend!

Interesting Historical Backdrop
Degenerated Into A Harlequin Romance near the end of the story. The first part was interesting, however.
