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.

Old blind dongs prediction came true again!

Do lay lo mo on all mealy mouth forn icators who don’t think that this is one of James Clavells best works!
Based on reviews, I read Shogun, then Tai Pan, then Noble House.
The timeline jump was not as dramatic as it would seem, and they catch you up in the story to fill in what you might have missed.
I love that Ralph Lister from Shogun has returned. Truly one of the BEST narrators on audible. Hands down. I have listened to 100 audio books and He’s in my top 5.
54hrs should not deter you, when its getting down to the last 10 you won’t want it to end.

Did you hear about my sister, 3rd toilet mate Fong from great hotel?

Great!

my second most favourite book in the Saga after Shogun. All pins and needles! Very good intrigues, and a great improvement on Gaijin.

Great Story

A great performance of a great novel. Tense situations, backstabbing, betrayals and a solid spy thriller. Do yourself a favour and listen to this book.
