Infos

Three thrillers set in WWII-era Asia by a New York Times-bestselling author who writes "e;like a cross between Joseph Conrad and James Clavell"e; (Houston Chronicle). "e;A master of terse, ironic dialogue,"e; the author of A Covenant with Death presents a trilogy that journeys from the Gobi Desert to Peking to Burma in the chaotic years following the Second World War (Kirkus Reviews). The Chinese Bandit: An American ex-marine must run for his life in the cutthroat atmosphere of postwar China, pursued by both a dangerous criminal and Chiang Kai-shek's forces. This one "e;will keep readers turning pages through the night"e; (Los Angeles Times). The Last Mandarin: An American mercenary chases a Japanese war criminal through the war-torn streets of Peking in this "e;fascinating . . . exciting"e; adventure (ThePhiladelphia Inquirer). The Blue-Eyed Shan: The battle between East and West explodes in a remote corner of Burma, as an anthropologist in an isolated mountain village finds himself fighting to save the people he loves from the Chinese Red Army and a fearsome tribe of headhunters. A thriller "e;as exciting as Raiders of the Lost Ark"e; (Publishers Weekly). Described as "e;absolutely ripping adventure"e; by Time and "e;sublime entertainment"e; by John Irving, the Far East Trilogy is an unforgettable saga filled with suspense, epic scope, and rich historical atmosphere.
