Reviews

[Michael · Rating 1 out of 5]

I started reading Joe Weber wanted to like his work. But I quickly realized I was dealing with an author who knows military hardware and had served, but could not write effectively. Character development simply does not happen, his two "heroes" bumble their way from misadventure to misadventure like Mr. Magoo, and more time is spent describing dinners than anything else. At least it reads very quickly.

the story was good, but got a little fairy-taleish at the end to tie everything up.

Interesting thoughts on how the Japanese think

This book is a fair look into the pride and will of the Japanese mind. It also gives a good representation of what happens when we fail to stand vigilant and remember history.

[Shelley · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another political yarn about a Japanese businessman who wants to create mistrust and fiction between the US and his own country. Enter our heroe's CIA operations officer Stephen Wickham and FBI agent Susan Nakamura.

[Fredrick Danysh · Rating 3 out of 5]

A helicopter resembling a news station's chopper strafes a cruise ship in Hawaii being a load of Japanese tourists. The government of Japan and the USA both become involved. The only way to prevent a war is to find out why it happened and who is responsible.

Clancy-style military suspense thriller about conflict between Japan and the U.S. I missed character development
