The Chung Kuo series of novels by David Wingrove are in a word, excellent.
It takes place two hundred years in the future, on an Earth ruled by the descendants of a ruthless Chinese
Dictator who enclosed the entire global population in great continent sized cities.
Each city is ruled by a T'ang who holds absolute power over the citizens of his domain.
To tell you much more would give away the rich, powerful plot which you definetly don't want me to do.
Fans of James Clavell or Frank Herbert will find these novels up to their high standards.
Chung Kuo is science fiction on an epic scale that I can't possibly praise highly enough.
Unfortunately, the series is not available in a boxed set. It is still definitely worth collecting.
