Their passions mingle with monarchs and diplomats, assassins, courtesans and spies. Their fates collide in James Clavell’s latest masterpiece set in nineteenth-century Japan—an unforgettable epic seething with betrayal and secrets, brutality and heroism, love and forbidden passions.… I was really looking forward to reading Gai-Jin, as I really loved the other Clavell novels I have read and I have a great interest in Japanese history, having served in the military in Japan for about eight years and having a Japanese wife who recently passed away. Overall, the novel started off well and was very intriguing for about the first 500 pages, starting off with a samurai attack on Europeans who failed to bow respectfully enough when a procession passed them. This attack killed one character and gravely wounded the main character in the book. After that the pace failed to keep up, but was fascinating enough through about the first half of the book. The second half tended to drag significantly and I found myself checking to see how many more pages I had to get through. Ultimately, after over 1000 pages, the book just sort of stopped. Some of the characters left Japan for Hong Kong and others remained in Japan. Then there was a brief synopsis of what transpired after that, like he was tired or writing and just provided Cliff notes for the remainder of the story. It left a lot of unanswered questions and left several important plot lines just hanging.I recently learned that Mr. Clavell was very sick as he was finishing this book and died shortly after completing it. This changed my outlook on this novel. Rather than thinking he just got lazy, I now realize that it was probably impossible for him to complete it as he desired and he concluded it as best he could rather than just abandoning an unfinished work. This significantly raised my opinion of the author and made me re- assess my feelings of the novel.
