Published by Knopf 1992

On the forty-fifth floor of the Nakamoto Tower in downtown LA--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 dead body of a beautiful young woman is discovered.

The investigation begins...and 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 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.
