About the author
Ian Stewart
10Ìýbooks13ÌýfollowersI was born in New Zealand and began my journalism career on The New Zealand Herald.
I was a foreign correspondent in Asia for 30 years, which included fifteen years reporting for The New York Times with Hong Kong as my base.
I had earlier been a Reuters correspondent, working for the agency in Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Indonesia.
I began writing fiction when I was a young journalist in Australia and had two short stories published.
My first success with a novel was The Peking Payoff, which was published in hard cover in 1975 by Macmillan Inc in New York and in paperback by Hamlyn. Hamlyn subsequently published The Seizing Of Singapore, Deadline In Jakarta and An H-Bomb For Alice.
In 1988, I self-published Reunion, also a novel.
Following my ten years as a freelance correspondent, from 1991 to 2001, based first in Singapore and then Malaysia, I wrote The Mahathir Legacy, a non-fiction work, which was published in Australia in 2003 by Allen & Unwin.
My epic Asian saga, Nanyang � published as both an Amazon (Kindle) eBook and as a CreateSpace) paperback � reflects my interest in the history of East Asia, where I have spent so much of my adult life, and the emigration of Chinese to South-East Asia, among them the ancestors of my wife Truus The Tiang Nio.

For the paperback see:
I have also more recently published two more books of the action/adventure genre,The Unintentional Jihadi.
and The Lust of Comrade Lu.

It is very relevant to current relations between Hong Kong and Beijing.
I have begun republishing some earlier works as eBooks.
The first was Reunion.
The second was The Peking Payoff
The latest is The Seizing Of Singapore
