Ming Yellow

By S. Martin Shelton

During the chaos that was China in 1935, Randall Kendrick, a wealthy American collector of fine oriental art, and his savvy daughter, Ingrid, embark on an adventurous quest to purchase a cache of extremely rare Ming yellow porcelains. General Wu Pei-fu, the vicious warlord of Kansu Province, offers the porcelains for sale to the highest bidder. Traveling with Kendrick is the expatriate Austral-ian photojournalist, Matt Drummond who focuses his eyes through his camera's viewfinder and on Ingrid. Leading the Kendrick party is Wallace Chung, a suave young hustler who claims to have some connection with the warlord and first-hand knowledge about the porcelains. The Kendrick par-ty travels in a private railroad coach bound for Kansu Province in western China. Soon they are caught in the maw of China's interior strife: dueling warlords, bandit gangs, marauding militias, Communist cadres, and elements of Japan's Kwangtung Army.
