Noble House

The Epic Novel of Modern Hong Kong: The Asian Saga, Book 5

By: James Clavell

Narrated by: Ralph Lister

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.

Outstanding

Read it for the 4th time and loved it as always. It's a classic on Asia, fantastic

Brilliant

The story is incredibly rich.
True or not it gives you insight into the world of spying, high stakes deals, cool and calculated minds and Asian wisdom.

Performance is awesome as well. The actor has a firm grasp of many voices and you know who's talking even before the text hints.

great story well researched, plausible plots

the wonderfully telling of tale, incomplete endings, what happened to favourite characters etc., were ships built, wars won

Great Book.

Wonderful Story. Great Insight Into Hong Kong Before 1997. Good Narrator too, worth the time invested.

Narrator

Unfortunately he overacts. His “French” accent is Scottish, and he rasps the Chinese voices, with no trace of a Chinese accent.
