Noble House by James Clavell

Noble House by James Clavell

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.

Praise for Noble House

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.--Chicago Tribune Book World
