Debt of Honor
Debt of Honor | Tom Clancy
4 posts | 23 read | 5 to read
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.

✨So I got a pretty gnarly bruise carrying the Tom Clancy books home from the library the other day ? It didn't hurt carrying them home, bouncing against my leg, but the next day.. jeeeesh! ?
✨My sister also bought me the other three, then I had to get "Always Abigail" for having my name. ??

And not a thing he could do about it, which was why he sat with a book in his hands while Kaneda sat in front of a TV watching some actor perform in a drama whose beginning, middle and end were all foretold a thousand times, pretending that it was both real and new, when it was neither.

The ability to make decisions was called moral courage by those who didn't have to do it, and stress by those who did.

I really liked Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan books back in the day, but after Debt Of Honor I lost track of the series. Four actors have played the character on screen, with varying degrees of success. Tonight I'm watching the Chris Pine movie, the only one not based on a Clancy novel.
