The Far East Trilogy: The Chinese Bandit, The Last Mandarin, and The Blue-Eyed Shan (The Far East Trilogy #2)

Synopsis

Three thrillers set in WWII-era Asia by a New York Times–bestselling author who writes &“like a cross between Joseph Conrad and James Clavell&” (Houston Chronicle). &“A master of terse, ironic dialogue,&” 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 &“will keep readers turning pages through the night&” (Los Angeles Times). The Last Mandarin: An American mercenary chases a Japanese war criminal through the war-torn streets of Peking in this &“fascinating . . . exciting&” 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 &“as exciting as Raiders of the Lost Ark&” (Publishers Weekly). Described as &“absolutely ripping adventure&” by Time and &“sublime entertainment&” by John Irving, the Far East Trilogy is an unforgettable saga filled with suspense, epic scope, and rich historical atmosphere.
