This spellbinding adventure is a literary triumphthat 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 aweek, but these are days of high adventure: from kidnapping and murder tofinancial double-dealing and natural catastrophes-fire, flood, landslide. Yetthey are also days filled with all the mystery and romance of Hong Kong-theheart of Asia-rich in every trade . . . money, flesh, opium, power.
