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.

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.
