A large-scale epic novel about the founding of Hong Kong by Shogun author and unsurpassed master of historical fiction James Clavell in a world where empires grow on trade, blood and betrayal, only one person has managed to rise up and become a legend. Dirk Struan-Tai-Peng, Supreme Ruler of the Struan&Company trading house, known as the noble house, the largest trading company in the Far East. He controls not only the navy, silk and silver, but also the fate of the English presence in China. For decades, Struan has waged a relentless war with his longtime rival, Tyler Brock. Their confrontation is not just a business, but a personal war, where every deal, alliance and even love is another move in a dangerous game where loss means death. After the end of the Opium War, when China opened its ports to British merchants, Struan and Brock engage in a decisive battle for control of the markets and the future of their own families. But ancient grievances do not fade, and the shadows of this hostility extend for generations to come. "Tai-Peng" is an epic saga about the formation of Hong Kong, The Clash of East and West, people who are ready to give everything for the sake of strength, passion and a name that will survive time. But there comes a time when you have to pay for everything.
