Iran in 1979. A narrow circle of oil tycoons and crowds of poor, desperate people. One spark is enough to ignite riots and drown in blood those who yesterday bathed in luxury.... As a result of the coup, the pro-Western regime of Shah Pahlavi is overthrown, and the "war of all against all" begins, which is not without the intervention of the secret services of the great powers interested in Iranian oil. The Noble House, a huge holding company whose business is connected with oil production, does not lose its vigilance. To take people and assets outside the country, immersed in the chaos of revolution, the company owned by the holding company is preparing for an unheard of daring operation ... The novel "Hurricane" (1986) completes the "Asian saga" Clavell. There are those who reproach the author for some confusion and a mixture of genres in this book, but it is difficult to deny his foresight: describing the turbulent events in Iran in the late seventies, he seemed to see several decades ahead.
