- 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.
- 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 '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 events are believable, the plot has structural logic, and the tone is down-to-earth.
- With regard to its message, '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. In addition to its gripping original story, 'The Kyoto Complex' also explores both the psychology of the Japanese people and the topography of the country. There are paragraphs of descriptive prose that are worthy of the very best travel-writing.
- A must for anyone interested in Japan, in strategic affairs, in psychological thrillers or in conspiracy stories that make you think.
