by James Clavell
In the final novel of the Asian Saga, we read a fictionalized account of a helicopter business and its power struggles during the fall of the Shah of Iran. Set against a backdrop of Western and Middle Eastern cultures clashing together, this novel chronicles the escape efforts of Struan's helicopter pilots.
Twenty-five years after it was written, Clavell's masterpiece is an insightful peek into how Western civilization viewed the Middle East. This is truly a fine end to the Asian Saga, and well worth the time it will take to read.
