Jian is the Champion, the Man who Excels. His arts are martial and philosophic, terrifyingly phsical, cruelly cerebral.
Who is he? What are his aims? Is he Jake Maroc: a man haunted by his past, threatened by his present, careless for his future - except to exact the vengeance which is his?
Is he Nichiren, Jake's deadly adversary, as skilled in the arts of survival and murder as Maroc himself?
Four pieces of jade hold the answer: like pieces in wei qi,the Chinese game of strategy, they are to be used as part of a Grand Game.
Hong Kong is part of the prize - but only part.
And as the American, the Chinese, the Russians all manoeuvre for position, as violence breeds violence, and deception breeds chaos, one man is pursuing a secret strategy known only to him. [edit] | |
