About this title

Synopsis

Jake Maroc is the prodigal son - the son of East and West - torn by guilt, by honour, by lust for vengeance. The jade "fu" which is handed to him by his father is both torment and solution to a battle which will tear the world: a battle which demands the ultimate strategy.

From the Back Cover

JAKE MAROC IS THE PRODIGAL SON

The lethal child of two cultures, he is torn by guilt, by honour, by lust for vengeance.

The jade 'fu 'his father gives him is his torment – and the key to victory in a battle that will turn the very world upside down: a battle which demands the ultimate strategy.

Jake must return to Shan, the Mountain, to rediscover his lost inner strength and learn how to fight the enemy.

'Shan 'is a towering story encompassing violence, sensuality and compassion: the story of Jake Maroc, hero of 'Jian', and his new quest to avoid the destruction of all he holds dear.

“His development of power politics is gaining more depth with each novel ... Lustbader’s fans will not be disappointed.”

Store Description

Established in 2001, Arapiles Mountain Books is the only specialist mountaineering bookseller in Australia. We carry a large stock of fine, rare and out of print mountaineering and adventurous travel books, with a particular emphasis on British, Australian, New Zealand and Himalayan climbing narratives and guides. We have an especially wide selection of early - mid 20th travel books in dustwrapper, signed books and expedition memorabilia. On-line catalogues can be browsed on this website. The proprietor, Andrew Long, has climbed the world over since 1980, and has spent much of his time over the (last few) years, collecting and reading climbing and travel narratives by more intrepid writers. He will be happy to answer any queries or provide advice on condition, approximate value, rarity or just plain readability free of charge. A booksearch service is available. Although we are a mail order store, visitors are most welcome to browse our stock by making an appointment. I have a bricks and mortar bookshop in Central Victoria ('Mount of Alex', 273 Barker Street, Castlemaine), which is open 11am - 5pm Saturday and Sundays (excluding public holidays). Note that internet listed books are not stored in the shop, but can be brought in by request. Appointments to view the stock may be made by calling Andrew on +61 410 650 923 or by email to araps@alassoc.com.au.
