Clavell’s biggest triumph yet… storytelling done with dash and panache… a rousing read.
- Washington Post
The setting is Hong Kong, 1963. The action 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 days filled as well with all the mystery and romance of Hong Kong - the heart of Asia - rich in every trade… money, flesh, opium, power.

Fiction for addicts… extravagantly romantic… a book that you can get lost in for weeks… staggering complexity… not only is it as long as life, it’s also as rich with possibilities.
- New York Times
Tremendous entertainment… a seamless marvel of pure storytelling.
- Cleveland Plain Dealer
A mesmerizer… spellbinding.
- Los Angeles Times
Breathtaking… only terms like colossal, gigantic, titanic, incredible, unbelievable, gargantuan, are properly descriptive… . Clavell has made himself the king of super-adventure thrillers.
