This is the story of a Mongol warrior who lived during Jenghiz Khan's empire. It is a new look at a frequently misunderstood culture and history. The participants are not bound by ideals of what is good or bad. Like their ancestor the wolf, they do not act out of cruelty or mercy. They live by a natural law, which has been lost on modern society. To judge them in the midst of our politically correct, industrialized world is like trying to convince a caveman of the merits of having a personal computer. Jenghiz Khan was perhaps the most brilliant uneducated man in history. He was a master of human nature. The men who helped him create his empire, like He-Who-Goes-First, were making their lives from the "raw materials" of the times they lived in. The warrior in this story struggles with his spirituality and his role as a soldier.

Inspiring and heartwarming story,

This review is from: He Who Goes First (Paperback)
He Who Goes First is a very inspiring and heart felt story written by first time novelist Kevin J. Curtis. It takes you back into the time of 13th Century Mongolia with such vivid details that you are truly transported. The characters are rich and full of life and internal conflict, which makes for a great drama. I especially loved the story between the main character and his wife. Told from a very realistic perspective, this is a book you won't soon forget.
