Book Review: Empire of the Moghul - The Serpent's Tooth

Shah Jahan frowned. His third son was a greater puzzle, even if no one could accuse him of frivolity.
The vast Moghul Empire still reigns a quarter of the world's population and has wealth beyond imagining: it is the greatest, most bloodthirsty dynasty ever known. But, as a new century advances, the Empire's position becomes increasingly perilous.

Now is the time for its leader, Shah Jahan, to secure his position as ruler, but instead he becomes obsessed with building the Taj Mahal - a final, epic monument to his dead wife. He is too distracted to notice that his sons, like generations of Moghul princes before them are planning to seize his throne by any means, however violent.

In this fifth novel of the Empire of the Moghul series, the author presents yet another researched and fascinating tale centered on Emperor Shah Jahan. Solid and human characters, vivid setting, and engrossing story line of this novel succeed in keeping the reader glued from the very beginning. This action packed thriller is written in an absorbing narrative style and the historical figures and legends become alive with magnificent ease.
