Book excerpt: In the 3rd century BC, what we now know as China was divided into many states. This was called the "Warring States Period." Civil war was rampant, and eventually the number of states was reduced to seven. Of these, the state of Qin on the western border was despised as the most barbaric and weakest of all the states. There, a boy of thirteen became king and his name was Ying Zheng. The young man found men to fight for him, and at the age of twenty, he began a war of conquest defeating all the other states. He completed this by his thirty-eighth year. On his ascension to ruling the country, Ying Zheng adopted the name First Sovereign Emperor of Qin (Qin Sh Huangdi). His vision created the foundation of what we call China. We remember him by his huge unopened tomb, the terra cotta army that he buried, and major sections of the great wall of China that he built. He was also responsible for some of the largest water projects of all time. Qin's dynasty did not last, but his influence remains a part of China to this day. To learn the astonishing story of how one man changed the world, read the extraordinary novel based on his life, Ying Zheng: The First Emperor.

Book excerpt: "Ying Zheng was born to rule the world, claiming descent from gods, crowned king while still a child. He was the product of a heartless, brutal regime devoted to domination, groomed from an early age to become the First emperor of China after a century of scheming by his ancestors. He faked a foreign threat to justify an invasion. He ruled a nation under 24-hour surveillance. He ordered his interrogators to torture suspects. He boiled his critics alive. He buried dissenting scholars. He declared war on death itself."--Back of book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When society has already entered an age of high-tech and computers, an army of powerful imperial soldiers clad in armour and wielding threatening weapons suddenly looms out of the fog of time. As mysterious as extraterrestrial beings, the terracotta soldiers are at the same time life-like. They emerge out of the earth under which they have remained buried and unknown for more than 2,200 years. Was it because they could no longer bear the darkness and loneliness underground, or because they wanted to reveal their ancient, long forgotten glory? Or was it because Emperor Qin Shi Huang had always intended to demonstrate to later generations his absolute imperial power? For whatever reason, the reappearance of his legions has given the impression that this is a story we may never fully comprehend.
