À propos de cet audio
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.

Crooked web
Insightful examination of Japanese business practices in the US and world.
Excessive reliance on vulgar language of US law enforcment officers.
Story line fascinating.

Dated but enjoyable thriller
As a thriller, this is an enjoyable read, from the likable main character and the buddy cop relationship with his partner, to the unpredictable plot which flows quickly over a 3 day period. I can't say I wasn't hooked towards the end as the final revelation played out.
Sadly it's tough to wholly recommend the book as the 30-year old views on Japanese culture feel very dated. Even if some of the details of business practices were more accurate in 1992 when the book was written, it's hard to defend the sweeping generalizations of Japan throughout.
It's not a bad read but it's worth keeping in mind that the views expressed by the author are not in any way reflective of modern day Japanese business culture.
