So, you’ve been wanting to read our epic Last King of Shang series (based on the Chinese classic Investiture of the Gods), but you’ve been frightened away by the prospect of having to buy and read all six books in the series? We’ve heard you!

Now that the series is completed, our final task has been to create a set of comprehensive, single-volume books that cover the entire series, all 100 chapters. Here they are.

  1. English-only version
    Title: The Last King of Shang
    Paperback (527 pages): available from us and Amazon
    eBook: available from us, Amazon, B&N, and other sellers
  2. Chinese-only version
    Title: The Last King of Shang in Easy Chinese
    Paperback (577 pages): available from Amazon and B&N
    ebook: available from us, Amazon and other sellers
  3. Chinese/pinyin/English version
    Title: The Last King of Shang in Easy Chinese, Pinyin and English
    Paperback: sorry, it’s too big to publish as a paperback. We tried!
    ebook (2,000+ pages): available from us, from Amazon, B&N, and other sellers
    Hardcover (900+ pages, large 8.5″ x 11.0″ format): Yes, it’s definitely a coffee table book. We made it big so you can read it without squinting too much. We are still working on some final formatting issues and expect it to be available in mid November. Watch our blog for the announcement.
  4. Audiobook version.
    We’re still working on this one too. It will be over 21 hours of high-quality spoken Chinese, and will be available on Audible.com and Spotify. Watch our blog for an announcement.

And of course, you can also read the six individual books in the series. See this page on Amazon for the complete list, or you can buy the books directly from us.
