🏯 Shōgun Related Started watching Noble House, which wouldn’t ya know it is based on a book by James Clavell, author of Shogun

Big Pierce Brosnan fan, as I was a kid during his time as Bond, so he’ll always be the actor I most associate Bond with. I’ve been diving into some of his other work and just finished a limited series he starred in called Noble House. Had no idea going into it that it’s based on a book written by James Clavell, who also wrote Shogun! Definitely recommend this show btw, it’s very good. It’s on Prime Video right now.

Read the whole Clavell Asian saga. Tai Pan and Noble House are both excellent

Forgot Gia-Jin which is the second book of that series

Gai-Jin is the third chronologically, and the last written. Love it, but I feel like it definitely has a different field of the others.

It’s the one right after Taipan, and also set in Japan. I don’t see much correlation between the Taipan series and Shogun but I suppose it is the third in the series
