SHOGUN

"My bet for the most satisfyingly popular novel of the year... It has power, it has violence, subtlety and lots, lots more... Clavell never puts a foot wrong... Get it, read it, you'll enjoy it mightily" (Daily Mirror )

'SHOGUN is a huge exotic, blood-stained canvas of sixteenth century but still medieval Japan, rival warlords and proselytising Jesuits, geishas, seppuku, samurai with the death-with and a shipwrecked Elizabethan"(Guardian )

'Mr Clavell tells his story brilliantly" (The Times )

'One of the great page turners of all time"( Good Book Guide )

'I can't remember when a novel has seized my mind like this one. It's irresistable, maybe unforgettable. Clavell... creates a world so enveloping you forget who and where you are" (New York Times )
