Hey Mikey, there's no more books. James Clavell only wrote one novel, Shogun, about the Edo period in Japan. He wrote extensively about different areas of Asia, and he did a couple of trilogies about Hong Kong under colonial English rule (Noble House, Tai Pan), but never did Clavell return to feudal Japan. And he never followed up with Blackthorne. Just like William Adams, the actual Englishman that Blackthorne is modeled upon, his fate became tied to his feudal lord and he found a role and a life within Japan, where he lived out the rest of his life, I believe. Sorry. If you enjoyed the series, I'd suggest reading Shogun the novel, because there are lots of things that never made it into the show. Not complaining, this was one of the best adaptations I've ever seen of any work of fiction to a series. But artistic choices were made in the process, and so the original is still worth checking out. Thanks, Crew, for sharing this journey! On to whatever is next!

Shogun is complete. The other books of the Asian Saga occur in different time periods. Tai-Pan starts in 1841 and concerns a Scottish merchant and the Opium Wars in China. Gai Jin is in 1862 and is Japan's opening to the West. King Rat is 1944 and is about life in a pow camp run by Japan. Noble House is in 1963 and is about trade war in Hong Kong. And Whirlwind is about the Iranian revolution in 1979. They all have connections through family members or companies that pop up throughout the series.

One of the things that didn't make it from the Novel? Blackthorne and Mariko were lovers. Fully. Part of Mariko's book arc that didn't make it into the show except for a few touchpoints here and there was her discovery of Western-style Romantic love, and realizing that by the time she died, she felt more loyalty to her love for Blackthorne than she did for her Christian faith OR her Japanese duty. She fulfilled her duty anyways, but part of her sacrifice came from knowing that so long as the hostaged were trapped, Toranaga could never win. And unless Toranaga was the man who ultimately won, John Blackthorne's life would always be in danger. Mariko went willingly to seppuku at the very end, to save Toranaga's plans, yes, but ultimately, to save Blackthorne's life. Joe's comment about "They never got to say they loved each other." Only in the adaptation. In the book, they not only were declaring their love for each other quite a bit, they had worked out a way to do so when everyone else was present. Mariko and John also spoke Latin, and they both felt (at the time) that Latin was the Language of Love. So they would use formal modes of address in Latin to each other ("Thou." "Thou." exchanges) as a way of saying "My love."

I literally just saw that there IS going to be a Shogun S2. And I'm actually a bit scared. S1 only worked because the plot was created by Clavell. The Novel is what we're all in love with. I'm worried they're going to fuck things right up just like Game of Thrones did. But we'll see.
