""For all the little boys and big boys who read it' - Ryder Haggard's masterpiece leads where Wilbur Smith followed 100 years later. A ripping yarn. African adventure at its colonial finest."
"Clavell's first novel (which should also be read first of the Asian Saga) is also one of his greatest. Superbly captures the stifling atmosphere of the WW2 POW camp at Changi in Singapore."
"Meet one of fiction's greatest bounders. Flashman fornicates and fights his way through 19th-century Afghanistan under British rule. Also, historically detailed and accurate."
"Again, we're in the marauding 19th century. Kicked out of the British Raj, two rascals head off to rule the far-flung Kafiristan. Beautifully told by Kipling."
"Though taking a while to warm up, this deeply satisfying adventure is a richly informative, grand-canopy, East-meets-West tale of 19th century swashbuckling about the founding of Hong Kong."
"This monumental blockbuster about 2 rival trading houses, set in the febrile, corrupt, ultra-capitalist Hong Kong of the 60s, topped the NY Times bestseller list for a year. This will blow your mind."
