James Andrews finally appears to be catching a break. After years of searching for Genghis Khan’s tomb, he unearths a bone during a dig on Burkhan Khaldun, Mongolia’s holy mountain. After tests suggest the bone belongs to Genghis Khan, Andrews and his colleague Abbey Conrad follow the strands of the bone’s DNA back through time and begin to unlock the secrets of thirteenth century Eurasia.
Mongolia is in the midst of turmoil. As the world’s superpowers vie for control of its vast resources and open lands, Andrews’s quest takes center stage. Past and present collide, revealing ancient truths along with a web of deception that tears Andrews’s life apart and pushes the world to the brink of war.
Part historic fiction, part archaeological mystery, and part political thriller, The Baljuna Covenant tells stories of a poor boy’s rise to the heights of world power, of two friends and unimagined betrayal, and of a secret kept for over half a millennia. Most of all it tells the story of a promise between Genghis Khan and his people, a promise kept until this day.
REVIEWS
“ . . . This is a fascinating first novel, in great part due to the rich background of Mongolian history as well as contemporary Mongolian political history that the author provides. [Pelkey] deftly works into the novel chapters that follow the rise of the young Temujin—later to be known as Genghis Khan—and his closest allies as they rode the steppes eight hundred years ago to form the greatest empire of the ancient world.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the wonderfully clear and concise explanation of gene sequencing and its use in narrowing down the ancestral line of Genghis Khan, a key plot element. It was so clear that even I could understand it!
Four trowels for ‘The Baljuna Covenant'. . . . With the October 2004 review, we began rating the books on the basis of one to four trowels; one trowel = don’t bother, to four trowels = run right out to your local book store and buy the hard cover! ”
—Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center
The Baljuna Covenant is an engaging and suspenseful read . . . Pelkey has written a rich and captivating novel.

Insightful . . . quick . . . A clever, complex tale that should pique readers’ curiosity about Genghis Khan and leave them looking forward to the author’s next book.

The Baljuna Covenant edition by Tim Pelkey Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks
Highly enjoyable read especially if you like historical fiction. Multiple times I found myself googling things found in this book to further understand the area, the time and Genghis Kahn. I didn't know much about Genghis Kahn or historical Mongolia - frankly wasn't that interested - but now I'm more interested than ever. Further reading about the time and place proves to me that this was obviously well researched! From a fictional standpoint, I highly await the next adventure of James Andrews. Very enjoyable!Product details

The Baljuna Covenant edition by Tim Pelkey Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
What first impressed me about the novel was the depth of knowledge the author showed regarding the history and geography of Mongolia. Then I realized that, while reading the richly detailed stories of Jamuka, Temujin, Baabar, James and Abbey, I had become invested in these remarkable characters and their fates. I found the novel difficult to put down and I anxiously await more novels about the adventures of James Andrews!! Incredibly well written...Bravo Tim Pelkey!!
I was first hesitant to even open this book, given only a very limited knowledge of Genghis Khan. How could I enjoy something about which I know so little? I decided to give it a try. One chapter in and I literally could not put it down. Tim Pelkey adroitly weaves multiple story lines in such a way that I immediately became a willing captive of his writing. Now I am utterly fascinated by Genghis Khan and am inspired to take a trip to Mongolia.
Is Tim the Genghis Khan of authors? I'll reserve that call until after a few more of his works are out. As for his first, if you enjoy ANY sort of story telling, this will not disappoint!
If you like historical fiction, if you are fascinated by Ghengis Khan or if you love political thrillers, this is a great book for you. There is a ton of historical content, not taught often in the West, about Ghengis Khan and that is fascinating enough. However, the author wraps all that history both in a story of Ghengis Khan but also in a contemporary thriller. If you liked Labyrinth from Kate Mosse or Conn Iggulden's works on Ghengis Kahn or Julies Ceaser, you will like this book. Great first book by Tim Pelkey!
Enjoyed the book and the history that was included in the plot.
Pelkey weaves the strands of time 800 years ago to present day Mongolia breathlessly. Wonderful story.
Liked the history but the story but the characters were shallow
The Baljuna Covenant is a terrific read! The author weaves history, geo-political tensions, espionage and romance into a story that will keep you guessing and turning pages to the end. I love historical fiction, and this book transports you into the world of Genghis Khan and Mongolia as it existed 800 years ago. Genghis Khan's history is related side by side with the thrilling modern-day story that puts the search for his remains in the center of the action.
Highly enjoyable read especially if you like historical fiction. Multiple times I found myself googling things found in this book to further understand the area, the time and Genghis Kahn. I didn't know much about Genghis Kahn or historical Mongolia - frankly wasn't that interested - but now I'm more interested than ever.
