King Rat is a 1962 novel by James Clavell and the author's literary debut. Set during World War II, the novel describes the struggle for survival of American, Australian, British, Dutch, and New Zealander prisoners of war in a Japanese camp in Singapore-a description informed by Clavell's own three-year experience as a prisoner in the notorious Changi Prison camp. One of the three major characters, Peter Marlowe, is based upon Clavell's younger self.

Home James Clavell King Ra. Maybe that’s a special type of rat, like a special mosquito carries malaria, Dino said hopefully, his dark eyes roving the men.
Home James Clavell King Rat. Home. Part of Asian Saga series by James Clavell. Rats can carry plague, sure, the King said, shrugging. And they carry a lot of human diseases. But that don’t mean nothing.
In King Rat, James Clavell succeeds in doing what countless other authors usually fail at: taken actual experiences from his life and distilled them into a gripping dramatic narrative. And this praise is perhaps the most damnable understatement the book can receive - Clavell isn't writing about "experiences," he is writing about the cauldron from which he was "reborn" - his time in Changi, a Japanese POW camp in Malaysia during WWII.
The time is World War II. The place is a brutal prison camp deep in Japanese-occupied territory. com User, May 29, 2008.
This is the fourth book in James Clavell's "Asian Saga". You cannot go wrong with a Clavell story. It is also the first book he wrote and the one that is closest to being autobiographical. King Rat really can be read as a stand alone novel. It was not difficult to read, and the story flowed well. The plot was not always predictable, and there were some surprises in how the prisoners of the Japanese responded to being freed by the Allies.

James Clavell, the son of a Royal Navy family, was educated in Portsmouth before, as a young artillery officer, he was captured by the Japanese at the Fall of Singapore. It was on this experience that his bestselling novel KING RAT was based. He maintained this oriental interest in his other great works: TAI-PAN, SHOGUN, NOBLE HOUSE and GAI JIN. He later became a successful film maker producing. King Rat is named after the central character in Clavell's spellbinding masterpiece about the brutality of prison camp life in Japanese-occupied, World War II Malaya.
