“I love Clavell's Asian saga! So far Shogun and Tai-pan are my favorites. Gai-jin was good. Now I have to read Noble House.”
“Fantastic book, as were most of Clavell's, and a great way to learn the history of Hong Kong. Read this one twice, 10 years after the first time and it was even better! ”
“How is this book 2 when he wrote it before Shogun? I guess they went by timeline of the story itself? Maybe shogun could be called the "prequel?"”
“Dirk Struan, what a character!!! Perhaps one of my most favorite character. I heard that Dirk Struan was based on a real person, the founder of Jardines Group, based in Hongkong. The ending, although quiete unsatisfatory, in my opinion is brilliant. ”
