Description
First electronics. Then automobiles. Now the Japanese are ready to strike at our largest industrial export--airplanes. Intrigue and danger heighten as America faces its worst industrial challenge since the Great Depression. With the Cold War over, Japanese industrial espionage may succeed tomorrow where, fifty years ago, their military might failed. Expert saboteurs continue to strike at our vital industries, while hundreds of thousands of American jobs and countless billions of dollars hang show more in the balance. Ex-CIA field officer Kirk McGarvey is hired by Guerin Airline Company to investigate a recent rash of accidents and restore the company's, and America's, international reputation. show lessTags

Wow, 879 pages of murder and mayhem! International espionage and spies! A fun read, though probably a bit long, this was one of the better genre books I've read. The author is good at weaving multiple related threads using scores of characters. Not terribly deep and of course another macho TOR book, but entertaining adventure stuff! I will probably pick up another of his books in the future when I need an easy adrenaline rush...
