Items related to Jian: A China Maroc Novel: 1
From the New York Times-bestselling author of The Ninja comes the first "authentic and engrossing" thriller in the series featuring Jake Maroc (Los Angeles Times).
Jake Maroc, a top agent for the secret US government agency known as the Quarry, is a martial arts expert on a quest for vengeance. Nichiren, Jake's deadliest adversary, is a cold-blooded assassin with a deadly secret. And Shi Zilin is a Communist minister, a cunning survivor of turmoil.
But only one can be the Jian: the ultimate master of strength and wisdom.
Like stones in wei qi, the Chinese game of strategy, four ancient pieces of jade determine their fate. All three men are part of a grand scheme, but as the Communist Chinese, the KGB, and the Americans maneuver for position, only the Jian will determine who controls Hong Kong, the glittering gateway to China.
From the author of the Nicholas Linnear novels and the continuing adventures of Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne, this thriller is "brilliant . . . Perhaps no other piece of fiction since Shogun illuminates the mind, machinations, and mores of Eastern peoples with the style and intensity of Jian" (The Miami Herald).

"Authentic and engrossing . . . A sprawling story of intrigue, gore and steamy sexual encounters." --Los Angeles Times
Jian is the Champion, the Man who Excels. His arts are martial and philosophic, terrifyingly physical, 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.
As violence breeds violence, deception breeds chaos and the great nations of the world manoeuvre for position, one man and his secret strategy could destroy them all ...
“An entertaining and engrossing story ... fast moving and exciting”
