Description

The consummate warrior. The man who excels. The supreme master of all the arts--love and combat, strength and wisdom--who holds the fate of all China in his hands. In a vast arena with its vivid scenarios of war and revolution, its intricate loyalties of clan and creed, many vie for total mastery. Four ancient pieces of jade are the key to unlocking the grand scheme of the Jian. The prize is Hong Kong--the glittering jewel that sets the KGB, the Communist Chinese, and the Americans in deadly battle.
