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.

Disappointment
While the book itself is great, I was misled into thinking that I was getting the whole novel. Actually, I got Book 2 only and had to go elsewhere to order Book 1.
The ads never mentioned that it was a two book set or which of the books was being offered.
This should be corrected.

Noble House
If you read and enjoyed Shogun, Gaijin, Tai Pan, and King Rat, then Noble House will not disappoint! While the length of the book may make it seem an intimidating read, don't be fooled. This one is a page turner! Once you've finished Noble House, you'll be ready to dive right into Whirlwind, the last book in the Asian Saga.
