  Colin Falconer has published over 40 books in the last 26 years. HAREM was an enormous bestseller in Germany, selling over 200,000 copies.

  AZTEC stayed on the bestseller lists in Mexico for four months.

  He is a bestseller in Eastern Europe and his work has sold into translation in 23 countries.

  "A wonderful story ... not just a rehash of history but rather a refreshing look at this clever and charismatic leader ... pulsating with the passion of a woman."- Womens Weekly Book of the Month

  "Makes dry history into a real rip-roaring read. In Falconer's hands, Cleopatra is a smart, sexy and sassy heroine." - Australian Womens Forum Book of the Month

With several twists to keep the reader engaged until the very last, Silk Road is sure to find its way onto the bookshelves of lovers of a thrilling tale." - Liverpool Daily Post

  "It's wonderfully written, the characters gripping and with an epic story to unfurl within, it's one that keeps you going from the start to the end." - Dros Delnoch, Falcatta Times.

  "I enjoyed his storytelling voice so much that, had this book been say, set in modern times, the intriguing main characters would still have been able to pull it off. Thoroughly recommended.' - Bookbag

  '... an epic and eventful journey that spans a huge swathe of the middle and far east, and it is one that provides action, romance, and beautifully descriptive writing by the cartload." - Des Greene, Novel Suggestions

  "Beautifully written in typical Falconer style with plenty of snap and sharpness, and wonderfully researched, I enjoyed every page of this book." - Great Historicals

  Falconer's descriptive narrative is exquisite at times. Each short chapter opens with a flowing brush of words that paint precisely, yet mellifluously, in a manner that is almost poetic. - Historical Writers Association
