This book uses a modern narrative to retell the magnificent epic of the fall of Qin and the rise of Han, and the struggle between Chu and Han for hegemony. From Qin's unification of the six kingdoms and the rise of tyranny, to Liu Bang and Xiang Yu's rise to jointly defeat Qin; from the Hongmen Banquet with hidden murderous intentions and the chasm dividing the world, to Gaixia's lament and Wujiang's suicide, and then to the establishment of the cauldron in the early Han Dynasty and the undercurrent of power and intrigue.
