The epic novel of espionage, betrayal and turbulence in 1960s Hong Kong by the #1 New York Times bestselling author and unparalleled master of historical fiction, James Clavell

Taking place over the course of an eventful week in 1963 Hong Kong, James Clavell's Noble House is a masterfully woven novel of true suspense.

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.

      In this three-volume set, the Cold War provides a splendid backdrop for corporate chicanery. Early on we learn that "life isn't fair. Death isn't fair. War isn't fair. Big business is war." And the war in this epic Clavell work is a chess game played on the board of 1963 Hong Kong. Every moment shivers with intrigue. The taipan of Noble House faces a hostile takeover. The market is in flux. Smugglers abound, as well as murder, natural disasters, and espionage plots. John Lee performs a series of loathsome, as well as engaging, characters with wickedly accurate accents. Their motives lurk in his nuances. His women characters have dignity (when they deserve it), and, happily, none is given to simpering. A massively entertaining read. S.J.H. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine
