Part Two Of Two Parts
It is the early 19th century, when European traders and adventurers first began to penetrate the forbidding Chinese mainland. And it is in this exciting time and exotic place that a giant of an Englishman, Dirk Struan, sets out to turn the desolate island of Hong Kong into a bastion of British power, and to make himself the supreme ruler: the Tai-Pan. Following SHOGUN, this is second in the Asian saga.
"A great romantic saga that wonderfully captures the founding of Hong Kong, a must read for fans of historical fiction." (Amazon.com)
