This spellbinding adventure is a literary triumph that proves once again why James Clavell's books have become modern classics.Set in Hong Kong in 1963, the action of Noble House spans scarcely more than a week, but these are days of high adventure: from kidnapping and murder to financial double-dealing and natural catastrophes—fire, flood, landslide. Yet they are also days filled with all the mystery and romance of Hong Kong—the heart of Asia—rich in every trade … money, flesh, opium, power.Ian Dunross, the current tai-pan of the illustrious yet financially troubled Struan empire, is racing to undo the damage his predecessor left behind and to once again stand on stable ground. And he'll do whatever it takes - including striking a hard-fought deal with an American millionaire. But his rival, Quillan Gornt, has other plans. Suddenly caught in a dubious plot involving Soviet spies, Hong Kong's criminal underground, and the hostile takeover of his company, Dunross holds nothing back in the fight for the Noble House.Espionage, mayhem, and high-stakes betrayals make Noble House Clavell's most prolific and imaginatively crafted narrative in the Asian Saga.
