PROLOGUE
"The gale tore at him and he felt its bite deep within and he knew that if they did not make landfall in three days they would all be dead.Too many deaths on this voyage, he thought, I'm Pilot-Major of a dead fleet.One ship left out of five, eight and twenty men from a crew of one hundred and seven and now only ten can walk and the rest near death and our Captain-General one of them.No food, almost no water and what there is, brackish and foul. "~~~JAMES CLAVELL: Shogun

Shogun is one of those rare books that you wish would go on forever. Indeed, I know people who re-read it every year. The story follows the adventures of marooned English sailor John Blackthorne in late medieval Japan during the tumultuous years when Tokugawa Ieyasu (here called Toranaga) was uniting all of Japan under his rule by any means necessary.It's truly an epic tale of war, honor, trechery, masterful manipulations, tragic heroism, and star-crossed love
