Noble House
Noble House is a novel by James Clavell, published in 1981 and set in Hong Kong in 1963. It is the fourth book published in Clavell's Asian Saga and is chronologically the fifth book in the series. The "Noble House" in the title is the nickname of Struan's, the trading company first introduced in Clavell's Tai-Pan. The novel is over a thousand pages long, and contains dozens of characters and numerous intermingling plot lines. While primarily a sequel to Tai-Pan, the book also references characters and events from King Rat and Shogun, thereby retroactively establishing that all of Clavell's novels take place in a shared fictional universe. In 1988, it was adapted as a television miniseries for NBC, starring Pierce Brosnan. The miniseries updates the storyline of the novel to the 1980s.
