I didn't know it was out, gotta catch up
Me neither. How unexpected. I'm really glad it's good! I never read the book, but the poster advertisements looked really cool. And I know it was at least good enough to inspire a previous miniseries.
The author, James Clavell wrote 6 novels set in Asia that span 400-ish years. Shogun - 1600 to the last set in the 1990s.
Shogun is one of the best but they are all worth a read.
My rating of the Series.
Shogun & Noble House tied for first. (both were made into mini-series in the 80s)
Tai-Pan
Gai-Jin
King Rat (his first novel, based on personal experence in WW2)
Whirlwind
