Noble house, Bk. 1 : a novel of contemporary Hong Kong
The setting is Hong Kong in1963. The action spans scarcely more than a week, but these are days of high adventure, from kidnapping and murder to financial double-dealing and natural catastrophes--fire, flood, landslide. Yet they are days filled as well with all the mystery and romance of Hong Kong--the heart of Asia-rich in every trade ... money, flesh, opium, power.

"Ce qui fait un bon romancier populaire, au sens noble de ce terme, c'est son don de conteur. L'auteur du désormais célèbre ##Shogun## le possède et le maîtrise avec habileté et sa connaissance du milieu oriental dont il fait le cadre de ses grands récits est pittoresque tout en demeurant exact. Ce gros bouquin relate, en un raccourci très dense sur une dizaine de jours en 1963, le monde bigarré de Hong-Kong et les démêlés historiques par retours-arrière des Britanniques et des Chinois. Le tout est intriqué en un tissu romanesque sans failles avec toutes les situations possibles pour le plus grand plaisir du lecteur. Plus qu'un roman d'aventures, un grand récit d'histoire (s) très bien articulé et permettant d'accéder à la mentalité orientale."
