"ShoGun" stands alone, taking place in the 1600's. Published 1975. Still my favorite...I felt like I actually understood a different culture when I finished the book the first time. Layers upon layers upon layers.

Tai-Pan,(taking place in 1840's)(published 1966) Gai-Jin,(taking place in 1862)published in 1993, and Noble House (taking place in the 1960's )published in 1981 are books taking place in different eras, BUT all featuring the Struan and Brock families, and their Asian counterparts, and their fortunes.

Interesting that the books weren't published in order, that is he skipped back and forth between the 'saga'.......Now, excuse me, I have to go buy some books..........
