I’m into the last 300 pages of James Clavell’s Noble House: “A Novel of Contemporary Hong Kong” according to the inside page. The numerous plot threads are beginning to interweave and twist together nicely.

It’s been a while since I read a good page-turner. I read Whirlwind (a sequel of sorts to Noble House) but sort of lost interest about halfway through; with Noble House Clavell manages to keep interest in the various characters while using examining the unique character and flavor of Hong Kong.

Looking forward to finishing this and moving on to Gai-Jin and King Rat; the last 2 books in Clavell’s Asian Saga that I still have to read.
