""Visto después, podría parecer un modo un tanto extraño de empezar una guerra. Sólo uno de los implicados sabía lo que de verdad sucedía, y por casualidad. La firma del contrato de propiedad fue pospuesta a causa del fallecimiento de un familiar del notario que, al fin, saldría hacia Hawai en un vuelo especial dentro de dos horas.""@es
"Jack Ryans härtester Einsatz Aussenpolitisch stehen die USA kurz vor der Alarmstufe Rot. Man holt Jack Ryan als neuen Sicherheitsberater des Präsidenten an die vorderste Front. Doch bevor er loslegt, muss Ryan zuerst noch eine Ehrenschuld begleichen. Ein Politthriller der Sonderklasse! Tom Clancy, geboren 1947, arbeitete lange Jahre als Versicherungsagent. Eine Meuterei auf einem sowjetischen Zerstörer regte Clancy dazu an, seinen ersten Thriller, 'Jagd auf Roter Oktober' zu schreiben. Das Buch wurde auf Anhieb ein internationaler Erfolg, der sich in der Verfilmung mit Sean Connery in der Hauptrolle wiederholte. Seither ist Tom Clancy der Erfolg treu geblieben, seine Romane belegen regelmässig über Wochen hinweg die ersten Plätze der internationalen Bestsellerlisten, die Verfilmungen mit Harrison Ford als Jack Ryan waren ausnahmslos Kassenschlager. Wie realistisch und gut recherchiert seine Bücher sind, zeigt die Tatsache, dass der Autor nach den Anschlägen vom 11. September von der amerikanischen Regierung als spezieller Berater hinzugezogen wurde - in 'Befehl von oben' hatte er ein Szenario entworfen, dass der späteren Realität erschreckend nahe kam."
"Called out of retirement to serve as the new President's National Security Adviser, Ryan quickly realises that the problems of peace are fully as complex as those of war. Enemies have become friends, friends enemies, and even the form of conflict has changed. When one of those new enemies readies a strike not only at America's territory, but at the heart of her economy, it is Ryan who must somehow prepare an untested President to meet the challenge. For there is a debt of honour to be paid - and the price will be terrifyingly high."

"Razio Yamata is one of Japan's most influential industrialists, and part of a relatively small group of authority who wield tremendous authority in the Pacific Rim's economic powerhouse. He has devised a plan to cripple the American greatness, humble the US military, and elevate Japan to a position of dominance on the world stage. Yamata's motivation lies in his desire to pay off a Debt of Honor to his parents and to the country he feels is responsible for their deaths'America. All he needs is a catalyst to set his plan in motion. When the faulty gas tank on one Tennessee family's car leads to their fiery death, an opportunistic U. S. congressman uses the occasion to rush a new trade law through the system. The law is designed to squeeze Japan economically. Instead, it provides Yamata with the leverage he needs to put his plan into action. As Yamata's plan begins to unfold, it becomes clear to the world that someone is launching a fully-integrated operation against the United States. There's only one man to find out who the culprit is'Jack Ryan, the new President's National Security Advisor."@en
