About this listen
The epic novel of espionage, betrayal and turbulence in 1960s Hong Kong by the #1 New York Times bestselling author and unparalleled master of historical fiction, James Clavell
Taking place over the course of an eventful week in 1963 Hong Kong, James Clavell’s Noble House is a masterfully woven novel of true suspense.
Ian Dunross, the current tai-pan of the illustrious yet financially troubled Struan empire, is racing to undo the damage his predecessor left behind and to once again stand on stable ground. And he’ll do whatever it takes—including striking a hard-fought deal with an American millionaire. But his rival, Quillan Gornt, has other plans. Suddenly caught in a dubious plot involving Soviet spies, Hong Kong’s criminal underground, and the hostile takeover of his company, Dunross holds nothing back in the fight for the Noble House.
Espionage, mayhem, and high-stakes betrayals make Noble House Clavell’s most prolific and imaginatively crafted narrative in the Asian Saga.

Equal to his earlier books
An epic story, that possibly attempted too much and some of the secondary characters could have been fleshed out a bit more. Similar to Taipan, natural disasters were used to close off storyline’s that deserved a more substantial
I was a bit put off by the frequent and almost perverted references to females that didn’t seem necessary. Clavell is excellent as an adventure and dramatic writer but attempts at love, romance or sex, all fell short in my opinion.

Ruined by the narrator!
This is a great book, well written by James Clavell. But as an audible book it is ruined by the Narrator who has a monotonous voice, droning on hour after hour, all the Characters sounded the same.
I would love to hear it done better.

Twist upon twist
Brilliant story. Plot within plot. Trust is a mistake. Just do not know what will occur next.

Prescient
Possibly the best of the series. A bit dated but how Clavell predicted the future with the demise of soviet Russia and the rise of the Middle Kingdom. Being the only civilized culture in the world we now face the hegemony Of the PRC and world domination by Xu Xinping.. The decline of the west and Trump ‘s presidency we now face an uncertain future

Was waiting for a great ending
The story was lacking towards the end which really disappointed me.
I was waiting on a climax at the end, but instead it seemed to fizzle out
