Great moments of humanity in a harsh world of violence and distrust.

I just finished Dynasty Killers, which is Book Three of Baptiste Pinson Wu’s The Three Kingdoms Chronicles. Great work, great series, it’s illuminating and entertaining, which is all I ask for in a book. I loved the moments of humanity interspersed throughout the violence and villainy. Honor among enemies is my favorite trope, and Dynasty Killers serves it up in abundance. 

Liao Chun is now a full-grown man in the twilight of the Han Dynasty. He’s the captain of the Scorpions, an elite troop of warriors doing the bidding of legendary warlord Cao Cao. But as Chun does his mentor’s dirty work in the ongoing Chinese civil wars, he must reconcile his own conscience with his master’s ruthless ambitions.

Pinson Wu is doing us a great service, bringing such a rich history and culture to Western eyes with real historical characters and depictions of actual events like the Battles of Wancheng, Xiapi, and Guandu. Consider me among his legions of fans. Five stars from me. I was not emotionally prepared for what happened in this book. It was beautiful, heartbreaking, and unexpected. Bravo, Mr. Pinson-Wu.
