REVIEW Noble House by James Clavell

Noble House
by James Clavell

This is my favorite novel in the Asian Saga. It has dozens of characters - with an equal number of subplots. This novel easily rivals anything by Tom Clancy in terms of scope and complexity. This one has it all: international business espionage, cloak-and-dagger spycraft, criminals, natural disasters, drug smuggling - you name it, it's there.

Furthering the storyline from Tai-Pan, we learn that Struan's is on the brink of financial collapse. Once again, rivals are out to takeover the trading company. Can Ian save the company from Quillan? Only time, and over 1,000 pages of novel will tell.
