Sather History Chair, University of California, Berkeley "Written by the great master of vernacular literature Feng Menglong, Xin Leiguozhi is one of the finest examples of China's tradition of historical fiction. Milburn provides the vast novel's most exciting episodes here in unabridged form and presents them in a rollicking translation that does full justice to the original work."--Wilt L. Idema, Professor Emeritus of Chinese Literature, Harvard University
