After Kane and Abel
Tai-Pan by James Clavell
If Kane and Abel left you obsessed with two larger-than-life rivals clawing from nothing to empire, Tai-Pan delivers that same addictive rush. Set against 1840s Hong Kong's founding, James Clavell unleashes ruthless traders, personal vendettas, and dynasties forged in blood—all with the page-turning, soap-opera intensity that made you devour Archer's saga until dawn.
