De: Fonda Lee

Narrado por: Andrew Kishino

Two crime families, one source of power: Jade.

An Amazon.com Best Book of the Month

Jade is the lifeblood of the city of Janloon - a stone that enhances a warrior's natural strength and speed. Jade is mined, traded, stolen and killed for, controlled by the ruthless No Peak and Mountain families.

When a modern drug emerges that allows anyone - even foreigners - to wield jade, simmering tension between the two families erupts into open violence. The outcome of this clan war will determine the fate of all in the families, from their grandest patriarch to even the lowliest motorcycle runner on the streets.

Jade City is an epic tale of blood, family, honour, and of those who live and die by ancient laws in a changing world.

Swept away!

Fantastic series! Loved it, had a great story with good characters in a setting I've seldom (never) had the joy to read about. Didn't think I'd like it at first, but I'm really glad i gave it a shoot.

Awesome!

Sleeping Dogs with magic! I highly recommend this book for people who like triads/yakuza/Mafia fiction and fantasy

Omg

This was so cool! Asian setting, mobster-like gangs, jade-powers and epic action! Loved it and the audio is phenomenal! Need the second one asap!

Wonderful story concept

Well told story that encompasses Asian heritage with an interesting fantasy element with a touch of mobster culture. Great developed characters with a shopping of intrigue.
