Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Razio Yamata is one of Japan's most influential industrialists, and part of a relatively small cabal who exert tremendous authority in the Pacific Rim's economic powerhouse. He has devised a plan to cripple America's pre-eminent standing, 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 Honour 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.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointing,
By
This review is from: Debt Of Honour : (Paperback)
Having read and enjoyed quite a few Clancy thrillers now I finished reading this one with a feeling of disappointment.
A good political/techno thriller, as all Clancy novels up until this one are, have to have a believability factor. When reading The Sum of all Fears, The Hunt for the Red October, Red Storm Rising I thought that nothing I was reading was too farfetched, it could all happen and was therefore believable. However, Debt of Honour is too farfetched and lacks that believability factor. The politics and intentions contained within the book are just not right. Overall, this book is a bit of a disappointment. Its farfetched plot leaves you under whelmed on finishing.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent edition of the Jack Ryan saga,
By A Customer
This review is from: Debt Of Honour : (Paperback)
It starts of with typical Clancy style and builds into a frighteningly possible conflict with the Far East. Half way through the book he hits his brilliant warfare descriptions reminiscent of Red Storm Rising and maintains it through to the end. A thrilling read.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Not entirely credible. . .,

This review is from: Debt Of Honour : (Paperback)
While making your way through this book (which I rather enjoyed) you'll be amazed by the number of time that smoking and anti-smoking policies are mentioned: I'm fairly sure one character lights up while refuelling a helicopter, which isn't a good idea. I bet this is the least helpful review, too
