 Books Of The Times - New York Times
ON about page 500 of James Clavell's ''Noble House,'' when a reader finally gets hooked by the staggeringly complex machinery of this ''novel of contemporary Hong Kong,'' things look a little bleak for Ian Dunross, the leader, or tai-pan, of the Colony's foremost trading house.
Dunross's archrival, the smooth but villainous Quillan Gornt of Rothwell-Gornt, has successfully started a financial panic designed to cost Dunross control of Noble House as well as all the perks that come with being Hong Kong's ultimate tai-pan.
The son of Dunross's most trusted associate has been kidnapped and murdered, but not before having sold the firm's most vital secrets to an American conglomerator with designs on Noble House, and having stolen a halfcoin that requires Dunross to grant the bearer ''whatsoever he asks.''

Clavell balances his hero, Ian Dunross, against an equally imposing counter-hero, Quillan Gornt, creating a clash between two corporate-titans that is exciting, interesting, and at times very witty.
At over 1370 pages, Noble House is not a quick read, but if you are interested in reading only one of Clavell's books, Noble House should be your choice.
I was actually rooting for Gornt by the time I stopped reading; I didn't really get any feeling of loyalty to Straun's - Not like in Tai-Pan where I was cheering for Dirk's side all the way.

 "Noble House" (1988) (mini)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The film (mini-series) ia very creditable attempt to capture the essence of Clavell's masterful book.
John Rhys-Davies is the epitomy of Quillan Gornt and Pierce Brosnan doesn't do too badly either, but I can't imagine why he would fall for Deborah Raffin as K C Cholok who is bland, colourless and does not come across as a tough-negotiating business woman.
The film sticks closely to the book and only omits non-central to the story items - russian spies etc. Nancy Kwan is still gorgeous and Julia Nickson is lovely (pity her acting lets her down though).
