Oh yeah absolutely enjoyed that book, and wished I read more of the Asia saga by James Clavell to know how it fits in that even bigger story. Cause I really enjoyed the sort of chess game that was the plot (and reminded me of the best Epic fantasies in that way)
And no I did not know there was another adaptation of this story coming our way. Did see the previous miniseries from Paramount on blue-ray. With John Rhys-Davies (the actor who played Gimli in LOTR) as Rodrigues as an absolute highlight.
So I knew about the Asia saga before I finished the book, and because I didn't really look into it I assumed it was a continuation of the story... Man was I bummed when I learned each were practically self contained stories. I wanted to read about Blackthorne building ships and sailing to England!!
Still might have to give them a try, I heard that Tai-Pai is also really good.
nope not all series, have continued stories. That is also why I wanted to read the rest over time, to get how it fits in the overall story of the series.
