The author, James Clavell wrote 6 novels set in Asia that span 400-ish years. Shogun - 1600 to the last set in the 1990s.

Shogun is one of the best but they are all worth a read.

My rating of the Series.

Shogun & Noble House tied for first. (both were made into mini-series in the 80s)

Tai-Pan

Gai-Jin

King Rat (his first novel, based on personal experence in WW2)

Whirlwind

If you are going all the way back, movie wise, you can start at Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan as the first one is not the strongest.

2, 3 and 4 make a good trilogy.

This isn’t a science post, it’s a political agenda post.

It must be awful to live in a place where scientific study into human well being is political.

It sounds like some undeveloped country where you can't drink the tap water.

No but only because I stopped using google search years ago.

It has been getting worse for the last decade.

Considering the ring tab, this image is at least 40 years old.

Finding alien technology on the seafloor would be truly incredible. This extraordinary claim, however, is debunked by the actual evidence.

@ernest is the only mod and they have way too much on their plate to have to deal with it.
