Summary
A riveting thriller of corporate intrigue and cutthroat competition between American and Japanese business interests.
On the forty-fifth floor of the Nakamoto tower in downtown Los Angeles - the new American headquarters of the immense Japanese conglomerate - a grand opening celebration is in full swing.
On the forty-sixth floor, in an empty conference room, the corpse of a beautiful young woman is discovered.
The investigation immediately becomes a headlong chase through a twisting maze of industrial intrigue, a no-holds-barred conflict in which control of a vital American technology is the fiercely coveted prize - and in which the Japanese saying "business is war" takes on a terrifying reality.
Rising Sun was made into a film, starring Sean Connery.

Anti Japanese
Too much MAGA morality that’s not been bourne out by time. The story and the narrative suffered for all the speech making that was completely unnecessary and very distracting if not totally false.

Really excellent narrator and good book
A good book made excellent by the narrator, really enjoyed the interesting story. The moralisation on Japan is an opinion I guess now you would substitute China

Strangely pandering to MAGA tastes
Well structured but all characters seem to launch into polemic. I felt that the mystery aspects were well handled but the anti Japanese elements intruded and spoiled the flow.

Well narrated and interesting story
It was entertaining- I felt the concept/references were dated but I was still able to enjoy this if you accept it is in the 80/90s.
Would recommend.
