Debt of Honour - Tom Clancy

This fantastic novel follows Jack Ryan once again in an eerily realistic and compulsive page turner. Clancy's hallmark attention to detail once again leaves me feeling breathless after reading his book.

Debt of honour is another episode in Tom Clancy's very successful Saga of John Patrick Ryan. In this book a Japanese bussiness men who was infuriated at the take over of a Japanese island in the south pacific has cooked up a plan to disable the U.S. The suspense of the bok is awesome.

I grabbed this book 2 months ago and couldn’t let it go till I turned the last page!! The book is part of the Jack Ryan serie so it is advisable that you get to read the earlyer books from Tom Clancy but not in the least necessary, I personally had not read any other book from him till I got to this one! The story begins with an accident that grows into a war by the very cleaver moves made by a very patriotic industrialist, full of anger towards the Americans because of their actions in World War II, and his associates. Jack Ryan is at the moment the National Security Advisor of a ... more
