    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
