Noble House

by James Clavell

Random House Publishing Group | May 19, 2009 | Trade Paperback


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.

"The last time I was so taken with a spellbinding safari was when I read Gone With The Wind."-Los Angeles Times.

"Clavell's biggest triumph yet…storytelling done with dash and panache...a rousing read." -Washington Post

"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
