Produktbeschreibung
It is a beautiful tranquil day in Hawaii when a cruise ship filled with Japanese businessmen and their families enjoying a hard-earned vacation sails into Pearl Harbor. But the peace is suddenly shattered by the rapid fire of automatic weapons. Unbelievably, the ship is being strafed by a civilian helicopter that seems to belong to a local TV station. The shock waves from the tragic attack on the cruise ship go straight to Washington and Tokyo. In retaliation for the raid, a group of American tourists is ambushed in Osaka, and then Japanese-Americans are attacked across the United States. Relations are rapidly deteriorating between the United States and Japan, and the confrontations threaten to escalate out of control. The only way to restore order and prevent all-out war is to find out who is responsible for the initial attack - and why. This task is assigned to senior CIA operations officer Stephen Wickham and a Japanese-American FBI agent, Susan Nakamura. Their search leads them to a deadly conspiracy of enormous proportions, headed by a billionaire Japanese businessman - and reaching into the highest levels of the U.S. and Japanese governments. In Honorable Enemies, Joe Weber has formulated a chilling post-cold war scenario that might be taken from today's headlines. With this book he proves himself a master at portraying a frighteningly real near-future confrontation with our most powerful rival - Japan.
