Negative Positive
Title: Hard to recommend this one
Review: I agree with the other reviewers who comment on the second half/finish of the book. After over 1200 pages too much is left unresolved. I might feel differently if there was a direct sequel continuing the story of these characters, but of course there isn't one.While I still enjoyed the setting and the development of the character's view of their world and their strategy for dealing with it, it's really more of the same from Shogun and Taipan. Further, possibly the most interesting character, Tess Struan, appears in the book only through her letters written to other characters.Wish I'd read 1200 pages of something else.
