| Editorial Reviews: | | |  | | 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. | |

| | I can recommend his books if you are into exciting plots about terrorists and strategic moves. it is worth all 900 pages.
Although there are a lot of prejudices in there against Japanese. But from what I got to know in Japan, some of the prejudices got a bit of truth in them.
| | Very interesting theory about economies... | |
| | What I liked best about this book was the description of the economic mechanics. I don't know enough about this field to know if something like this attack on the American economy would be feasible, but still it was worked out quite beautifully. What I didn't like was the very strong feeling that whereever the USA are leading, all of western Europe would follow. Especially in the economy I don't think this in that way possible. But still a very well written book, and full of suspense. I liked the ending as well...
| | | Not a bad story. Intriguing, intricate, this book has the best climax that Clancy has written yet. BUT, the story becomes a bit too complicated with Clancy's musings on American/Japano economic relations. Plus, at just 10 pages under 1000 (pbk ed) it's simply too long. There are some thrilling passages, particularly the auto accident that starts the whole mess and the capture of a high-level Japanese official by Clark and Chavez, but wading through the hundreds of pages of filler material between them becomes torturous. I think Clancy would do well to tighten up his novels with old-fashioned editing. Still, it's a good read and necessary before reading Executive Orders.
| | This book won't disappoint! | |
| | Clancy is at his best with "Debt of Honor." You'llfind yourself turning the pages faster and faster as you follow Clark,Ryan, and the rest of the notables in this tense suspense novel. Consider yourself lucky that the sequel, "Executive Orders" is already out - when I read it, I had to wait almost two years to find out what happens next - and it was worth the wait.
| | Riveted on the Edge of My Car Seat! | |
| | The audio version (although abridged) loses nothing in the story. John Rubinstean does a terrific job of voice characterizations and you will have no problem keeping the characters straight. The audio is crisp and clear and easily heard in the noisy environment of a car. My only gripe is that some special effects would have been nice. This is a riveting, non-stop action audio book and well worth the purchase price. 6 hours.
