I’ll make this my second Clavell book in that case. Finished Shogun a couple months ago and I was absolutely blown away. I kind of wish that storyline had been its own trilogy since the end felt a bit rushed, but it was still extremely satisfying.

Haven't read King Rat yet but I absolutely loved Shogun. I actually just started Musashi at the consistent recommendations I've seen from people online.

It picks up right after the battle at the end of Shogun.

I'd definitely read Tai-Pan before reading Noble House, Gai-jin, or Whirlwind, those books won't really be nearly as good otherwise as all four are connected.

You can read King Rat or Shogun whenever, though one of the characters from King Rat shows up in Noble House in a small role and could add some flavor if you've read that first.
