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.<p>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.</p><p>Yamata's motivation lies in his desire to pay off a<b>Debt of Honor</b> 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p>
