'The most controversial and sensational novel of the last twenty years.'Here is a thriller that has factual research, artistic mood, and literary polish - for the intellectuals ; as well as action, suspense, and an original story - to give honey to the bears. Its issues are also of great topical importance ; and so this good old-fashioned tale has a universal appeal for now. The book's fictional story is about Japan's undercover operations to abduct young children of Japanese-Western marriages, in order to create a live gene-pool. These children are needed as potential scientists for Japan's future program in atomic weapons - and for the development of her military technology. The 'Kyoto Complex' is slightly similar to 'The Boys from Brazil' ; though with the sub-plot that Tokyo is secretly developing a nuclear arsenal. Enigmatic Japan is dissected with a Dan-Brown interest. At the same time, though, the personal side of the story largely revolves around a single character and family. Thus, the events are believable, the plot has structural logic, and the tone is down-to-earth. With regard to its message for today, 'The Kyoto Complex' is prophetic in the way 'The Riddle of the Sands' was in predicting German rearmament, a hundred years ago. It argues that Japan could now be secretly developing nuclear weapons. Research was carried out in Kyoto for five years.
