As Bold Bardash, a military horseman, rides west across the steppe and on to the Magyar Plain, he comes across a town in which everyone lies dead. Long dead. Plague has struck Europe. So die the ancestors of Da Vinci, Newton, and Shakespeare. A novel of the past 700 years as it could have been.

Industry Reviews

Best known for his epic science fiction, Robinson has produced a massive historical thriller that is likely to bring his work to a legion of new readers. That's not to say he has left SF concepts behind: a Great Plague has destroyed Europe, and the world is a very different place. Bold Bardash is a horseman in the army of Temur. As he rides west across the Steppe and onto the Magyar Plain, he discovers a town in which everyone is dead, destroyed by the plague. Into a now empty land pour the opportunists: the merchants, the slavers and the warlords. Into this complex and colourfully detailed narrative, Robinson has woven a haunting poetic strand that is never subsumed in the adventure and sweep of the tale.
