"I swear by the Lord God that whomsoever produces the other half of any of these coins, I will grant him whatsoever he asks? Dirk Struan, June 10, 1841 That was a promise made by the first of the tai-pans of the Noble House, the oldest and most important trading house in Hong Kong, and it was to be honored by all the tai-pans to follow. Now it was up to lan Dunross to fulfill the ancient pledge. The author of the world-famous King Rat, Tai-Pan and Shogun gives us a new novel filled with all the color, excitement and vivid detail for which he is noted. Hong Kong, 1963, is more than the set-ting: it is the essence of the novel. For here is the story of the British, who are in charge of the Colony and its industry, and of the Chinese, who know how to deal with their rulers to their own advantage. Into their midst come two Americans, expert in their own business and eager for a share of the Asian market but innocent of the unwritten rules of the Colony. In good condition with some damage to dust cover - cover itself in great condition.
