Summary
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.

Tom Clancy prophet of chaos of the late 20th cent.
This book is the book that puts together all the best that was Tom Clancy. His ability to foresee the near future of this crazy world was without doubt the finest since Jules Verne.
I have followed him since the Hunt for Red October and still read all the new releases by his new authors but there can only be one Tom C!ancy. Every year I listen to the complete series of Jack Ryan and John Clark novels and still thrill to its content.

Epic story to the last word
Absolutely loved it, so many plots within plots that all tie up to a thrilling finale.
Same issues with the reader, mechanical and boring, but stick with it because once the book has you it doesn't matter.

Great story held back by poor narration
What made the experience of listening to Debt of Honor the most enjoyable?
The story itself is one of my favourite Tom Clancy Novels, especially when considered with the follow up novel 'Executive Orders'.The story builds slowly and does an excellent job of drawing you in.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Debt of Honor?
The ending. I won't say any more as I don't want to ruin it!
What three words best describe John MacDonald’s performance?
Robotic, lacks emotion
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
not really, although I did find that I couldn't stop listening at certain parts of the story.
Any additional comments?
Great story, let down by the Narration. In particular, I found John McDonald's narration of character voices to be especially poor. His 'Al Trent' voice in particular, with the accent he gives him, is both awful and laughable in equal measure, breaking any atmosphere that has been built.

Brilliant writing, dire narration!
As in most of Tom Clancy’s earlier books, this a fully explored storyline. Nearly every aspect of the story is fully detailed and leaves you anticipating its effect on the situations and characters throughout the book.
Unfortunately the narrator lacks the ability to make this an exciting listen. Almost monosyllabic and sounds as if he was bored all the way through.
