The recent Shōgun series was surprisingly good, I really enjoyed it.

Clavell famously has no idea how to end a book - they pretty much _all_ have a deus ex machina in the form of a natural disaster - but they are excellent & fun reads of the days & weeks leading up to it.

Hah, yes! I just realized this! (Well, Whirlwind uses a revolution). I'd never connected that between all the books.
