Would you recommend any of his followup books? I'm worried that stories with different characters, time periods etc won't have the same feel.

- avinashv 16y agoI've read only Noble House. It's quite rich on the culture--maybe not so much as Shogun--and captures the setting quite well, but I didn't find it nearly as entrancing as Shogun. Worth a read, still.
- ramidarigaz 16y agoLikewise. Noble House was a good read, but Shogun was much better.
- derrickpetzold 16y agoAfter Shogun I read a bunch of his books. The only one that stood out for me was Rat King.
- jacquesm 16y ago> Rat King It didn't stand out enough for you to get the title right though ;)

- jacquesm 16y agoTai Pan, King Rat.
- relic17 16y agoClavell's whole Asian Saga (Shogun, Tai-Pan, Gai-Jin, King Rat, Noble House, and Whirlwind) is amazing. My favorite is Tai-Pan - the book had a tremendous impact on me, and I'd imagine it would appeal to every real entrepreneur. The underlying themes are freedom, individualism, honor, risk-taking, and ultimately, building something and defending it.
