   Does Clavell have a good NARAtive?

   • In good Clavell style most do, some don't, and the reader is left until almost the end to find out who. This is one of Clavell's more action-rich books. Sadly, it can be faulted for letting the narative wander in the first half before finding direction. It's not his best book, that would be Shogun. It's not his worst, which might be Tai-Pan.
