Clavell tries too hard?. in one week of flashy hong kong, we are to believe in fires, floods, killings, spies, billion-dollar deals, chase scenes, blonde girl in trouble, etc etc etcgimme a break.c'mon clavell... stick to japan.
The weakest of Clavell's Japan novels. I didn't enjoy it near as much as Centennial and Tai Pan, but still rich history, characters and plotting as well as the usual healthy dose of foreign culture. This one takes place in modern Japan.
