The review of this Book prepared by Anthony Ellingson




In "Debt of Honor", Japan launches a surprise attack on American assets in the Pacific, including some of the Pacific Islands (but not Hawaii) and a carrier battle group. America struggles to defeat the Japanese military and the militant group of politicians that have taken over the Japanese government. Both Jack Ryan and John Clark are vital to the success of this.

Japan betrays trust during joint manuvers and also sabotages financial market. US responds by sending in special forces and military, correcting market, and taking out leadership of Japan. Final act when disgruntled Japanese pilot flies airliner into Capital Building, frighteningly similar to the attacks today.
The review of this Book prepared by William E. Dowdy, Jr.




A dead girl in a Tokyo apartment, a car crash in the midwest, and a stock market crash are just some of the things that a group of Japanese men are willing to endure - and cause - in order to get back land they feel is rightfully theirs. When it all goes down, an attack on the Pacific Fleet leaves the U.S. helpless...maybe. Jack Ryan is in it again, back as the President's National Security advisor...and after he figures it out and saves the day, there's still an ending that will absolutely blow you out of our seat...A chillingly realistic tale of deception and near-future war...

It was a long and slow, not to mention boring, book about how the Japanese try to wipe America out by throwing it into political chaos. It was terrible. The worst Clancy book I have ever read. But then again, every author has a bad book.
