King Genghis I is a satirical adventure novel that blends timely realism and political fantasy.
Turan Mugayev, the protagonist of the book, is a New Yorker who travels from the heart of Western civilization to Genghistan, a small, hermetic Asian kingdom, ruled firmly but kindly by an affable, self-appointed benevolent dictator, who like other compassionate dictators is concerned principally with the well-being of his people.
The bond between the two men upsets the kingdom’s conventional wisdom, alters fates, and changes Turan from a broken-hearted and gloomy young man to a love-struck hero. Because, apparently, there’s nothing like the confines of a spunky little dictatorship to spark a new love. Free on Kindle.
