Product Description

Review

'Adam Williams has written a true epic, spanning many decades and incorporating real events of magnitude. It is not easy to explain historical context entertainingly, but Williams pulls it off' (The Times on THE DRAGON'S TAIL)

'A story that suggests history is repeated not as farce, but as adventure and romance' (Financial Times on THE EMPEROR'S BONES

'Poetic and romantic in parts, harrowing and tragic in others' (Heat on THE EMPEROR'S BONES )

'A blockbuster with a difference' (Daily Mail on THE EMPEROR'S BONES)

'Full of love and loss and guts and gore and derring-do . . . this is as good as the adventure story gets . . . Williams is a master' (The Times on THE PALACE OF HEAVENLY PLEASURE)

'An epic historical and romantic story as well as an impressive first novel' (Sunday Mirror on THE PALACE OF HEAVENLY PLEASURE)

'A sweeping tale of love, subtlety and courage . . . Rising passion meets passionate uprising in the Far East' --(Sunday Telegraph on THE PALACE OF HEAVENLY PLEASURE)
