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 US 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.

Critic reviews

"As always, the author of Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger spins out story threads in a rich but bewildering tangle of plot and setting, then vigorously weaves them together. Here, the heart-stopping climax is unexpected, but oddly appropriate." ( Publishers Weekly)
"A harrowing tale... Clancy keeps you riveted with political intrigue and military maneuvering [and] sends you rushing headlong to the book's stunning conclusion." ( USA Today)

The writing and story telling the usual good Clancy quality.

Issue is the terrible poor quality of the low bit compression. Makes the voice of the narrator feel very robotic. This jars the listener from the experience. had I not paid over $20 I would stop listening.

if a company is the sole provider of this unabridged title they should put out a better quality recording for the good of the listener, the narrator, their company, audible, and Clancy.

if it needs to be a larger file so be it.

Compression Quality Poor and Distracting.

I’m 12 1/2 hours in with 23 1/2 to go. The story is weighed down with detail about everything & while interesting, it gets in the way of the plot. Only because Tom Clancy is such a good writer am I still persevering. Although, another 23 hours!!
