Our view
“The Mongoliad” is a collaborative historical adventure whose meeting of Mongol, Crusader and Russian history makes for an unusual canvas. First released as an online serial by a group of writers that included Neal Stephenson, it offers vivid battles and an inviting premise. Several readers find the storytelling uneven, losing track of the plot or interest in the characters. It suits readers who come for the period and its clashes.

About the book
The Mongoliad is a collaborative work of transmedia historical adventure fiction by a group known as the Subutai Corporation which was founded by Neal Stephenson and others. Set in the Foreworld Saga, the story was originally released in a serialized format online, and via a series of iOS and Android apps from 2010 until 2012. It was restructured and re-edited for a definitive edition published by 47North in multiple volumes in 2012 as The Mongoliad. Fan-submitted Foreworld stories were published via Amazon's Kindle Worlds imprint starting in 2013.
