This self-published translation, which reads like an action novel, brings new excitement to reading this great book. Romance of the Three Kingdoms is an epic classic of literature, considered to be one of the most exciting books of all time. The origin of the book goes back over 2,000 years to the Warring States period in Chinese history. People now and long ago experience the unexpected in their daily life. The uncertainties and frustrations of human nature, written here with exquisite expression will leave the reader with profound insights. Welcome the Tiger (Book 3 of this 3 book series) tells of new challenges to Liu Bei and his team. Strategy usually played an important role, however success often relyed on the strength and courage of the two Tiger warriors, bound to Liu Bei by sacred oath. Again destiny is challenged as our imagination is stimulated by new events and new strategies. For example, we know it is expected for Zhang Fei to be impulsive and use force to win the day when he confronts an adversary. We are surprised by his intelligent strategy and its consequences when confronted with an opponent he could not overcome by force. In Book 3 every challenge to Liu Bei involves unpredictable aspects which fill each situation with uncertainty. Surprises and unexpected consequences are common.
