Rising Sun

On the forty-fifth fioor of the Nakamoto Tower in downtown L.A.—the new American headquarters of the im- mense Japanese conglomerate—a grand opening celebration is in full swing.

On the forty-sixth floor, in an empty conference room, the dead body of a beautiful young woman is discovered. The investigation begins.. .and immediately becomes a headlong chase through a twisting maze of in- dustrial intrigue.. .a no-holds-barred conflict in which control of a vital American technology is the fiercely coveted prize—and the Japanese saying "business is war" takes on a terrifying reality.

Fast. Furious. Riveting. Rising Sun delivers the unique Crichton mix— breathtaking suspense and cutting- edge technology—at its most explosive.
