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.

As top gun of a genre with drooping sales figures, Clancy seems poised to give the technothriller a much-needed shot in the arm with this story featuring his most popular creation, Jack Ryan. A BOMC main selection.

Debt of Honor is a book by Tom Clancy about a war between Japan and the United States that starts over a trade disagreement. The turn of events that triggers the war are creatively thought out and frighteningly realistic. The book follows Jack Ryan as the President's National Security Advisor as well as his colleagues John Clark and Ding Chavez in the CIA. The novel covers all aspects of the war with great detail and wit including the diplomacy, espionage, technology, politics, and military usage of a war. The book pulled me in from the rising action in the beginning to the explosive ending that leads into Executive Orders, the next book in the Ryan saga. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoyed any of the Jack Ryan novels or movies.

Tom Clancy's "Debt of Honor" is a masterpiece right from the start. It shows the trials and anger of threats and mistakes. The story goes like this: Jack Ryan becomes President Roger Durling's National Security Adviser, or NSA. Right from the start he does a better job than Liz Elliot in "The Sum of All Fears." He knows more about defense than Elliot did. President Durling has had a good time in the Oval Office so far, and his Vice President, Ed Kealty, has a very bad scandel that just recently went public. The Japanese take over the Marianas Islands and Guam. Then for the next 800 pages it's one big fiasco between the U.S. and Japan, India, and China. I strongly recomend this book to any Tom Clancy fan or someone who is just starting to read Tom Clancy.

The Jack Ryan saga continues! You thought he finished his career by averting a nuclear war in "Sum of All Fears" didn't you? But President Durling convinces him to come back, and not a moment too soon. It seems trouble follows Jack wherever he goes. "Debt of Honor" is an action packed thrill ride that will grab you right from the start and keep holding onto you at the end when you expect a resolution to the conflict, but one doesn't come. "Executive Orders" certainly finished up this two-parter nicely, but that's another story.
To me, an avid fan of "Red Storm Rising", I yearned for another bonanza of military technology with things blowing up and cutting edge weapons. DOH delivered the best battle scenes since RSR, featuring the B-2 Spirit, Comanche Attack Chopper, and F-22 Raptor kicking some major butt. The light weapon used by "Klerk" and "Chekov" was also very interesting. I just wish that the Americans could have taken out the Indians and Chinese too, but maybe Clancy's saving that for another day...
I won't say if "Debt of Honor" is the best of the Clancy series because I loved every single one of his books (except perhaps for his Power Plays, Op-Centers, and Netforces). DOH is about five to three hundred pages longer than any of Clancy's other masterpieces, but that just gives him more room to add excitement and plot twists. I only wish that the relative I originally borrowed "Debt of Honor" from hadn't revealed the shocking conclusion to me before I had a chance to read it myself.

Different
I've read several of Clancy's Op-Center books. I've read the Hunt or Red October, Patriot Games, and Clear-and-Present-Danger.
This was definately different. Lesen Sie weiter...
