| Synopsis: | This is the fifth James Clavell novel. Although it is a sequel to Noble House, it can be read as a stand alone. It is set in 1979 Iran, during the chaos that followed the expulsion of the Shah. It follows helicopter pilots working for an oil company and their attempts to save the business from the many competing factions that enter the void after the Shah leaves. |

| I enjoyed the book in parts but found myself losing interest in characters as the storyline shifted back and forth. I would have enjoyed a shorter, more concise look at the chaos in Iran in 1979. |
