minus-squarePons_Aelius@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-24 months agoThe author, James Clavell wrote 6 novels set in Asia that span 400-ish years. Shogun - 1600 to the last set in the 1990s. Shogun is one of the best but they are all worth a read. My rating of the Series. Shogun & Noble House tied for first. (both were made into mini-series in the 80s) Tai-Pan Gai-Jin King Rat (his first novel, based on personal experence in WW2) Whirlwind
