The Earl’s Other Son follows a younger son — not the heir — through four books of adventure set in China. The China Station and Shanghai Dreams (both 2018) establish the setting, while Chinese Whispers and Peking Nightmares (both 2019) deepen the intrigue.
The series draws on the complex history of British involvement in China, with Andrew Wareham using his protagonist’s outsider status as both an earl’s second son and a foreigner to explore the tensions of the period.
