Title: Review of Taipan
Review: One of the great historical novels ever, a superb story, tremendous character development, a fascinating look at western and Chinese cultures at the time and very well written. I may be in the minority but I think this was Clavell's best work, even better than "Shogun". The character Dirk Struan is unforgettable as is his nemises, Tyler Block. Clavell is a master story teller. I wish he was still alive so he could write more.
