Book Description
Razio Yamata is one of Japan's
most influential industrialists, and part of a relatively small group
of authority who wield tremendous authority in the Pacific Rim's economic
powerhouse. He has devised a plan to cripple the American greatness,
humble the U.S. military, and elevate Japan to a position of dominance
on the world stage.
Yamata's motivation lies in his desire to pay off a Debt of Honor
to his parents and to the country he feels is responsible for their
deaths: America. All he needs is a catalyst to set his plan in motion.
When the faulty gas tank on one Tennessee family's car leads to their
fiery death, an opportunistic U.S. congressman uses the occasion to
rush a new trade law through the system.
The law is designed to squeeze Japan economically. Instead, it provides
Yamata with the leverage he needs to put his plan into action. As
Yamata's plan begins to unfold, it becomes clear to the world that
someone is launching a fully integrated operation against the United
States.
There's only one man to find out who the culprit is: Jack Ryan, the
new president's National Security Advisor.
In hindsight, it's scary just how accurate a prediction Clancy made
in "Debt of Honor." What's even scarier is that he continued
sounding the same message in the sequel to this book, entitled "Executive
Orders." Its premise: biological weapons in the hands of state-sponsored
middle eastern terrorists.
