I just read that Tony Blair (former UK Prime Minister) has inked a 5.8m British pounds deal with Random House for his memoirs.

JAMES CLAVELL James Clavell is a half-Irish Englishman, born in Canada and educated in Portsmouth. He served as a captain in the Royal Artillery during the war. In 1942 he was captured by the Japanese and sent to Changi. It was on his experience in Changi that his bestselling novel KING RAT was based. The interest in Asia, its people and culture continued with TAI-PAN, a tale of Canton and Hong Kong in the mid-19th century and the founding of an Anglo-Chinese trading company, Struan's. This was followed by the classic SHOGUN, the story of Japan during the period two centuries before when Europe first began to make an impact on the island people of the Rising Sun. NOBLE HOUSE, the fourth novel in the Asian saga, continued the story of Struan's, the Hong Kong trading company, as the winds of change blew through the Far East. GAI-JIN is the third novel in the Asian saga set twenty years after the end of TAI-PAN. Shogun (1975) John Blackthorne, whose dream is to be the first Englishman to circumnavigate the globe, to wrest control of the trade between Japan and China from the Portuguese, and to return home a man of wealth and position. Toranaga, the most powerful feudal lord in Japan, who strives and schemes to seize ultimate power by becoming Shogun - supreme military dictator - and to unite the warring samurai fiefdoms under his own masterful and farsighted leadership.

James Clavell - The Asian Saga James Clavell was born in 1924. During WWII he was captured and was a prisoner of war in Changi prison in Singapore. That experience later became his inspiration for King Rat in 1962. In the early '60's he lived in Hong Kong where he wrote Tai-pan in 1966. James Clavell died September of 1994 in Swizerland after a short illness.His literary genius will be sorely missed. Of all his books I enjoyed Shogun,(1975)the most. King Rat,1962 The story occurs in a Japanese-run POW camp during WWII. The King, an American who was a nobody before the War, has managed through keen business sense and a variety of scams, to place himself at the top of the heap - among several thousand pathetic, diseased, starving prisonersa study of human suffering, survival, competition, ethics, and beliefs. Tai-Pan,1966 The book's main character, Dirk Struan, is a power hungry, manipulative opium tycoon, who is willing to do anything to succeed,a pirate, smuggler, and ruthless individual,he finds glory beyond his wildest dreams as the Tai-Pan, or supreme leader, of Hong Kong. In Tai Pan you will find the exitement of horse racing, power, wealth and also a captivating love story.
