I've enjoyed most of Clancy's novels. Though I'm usually more interested in fiction that takes place at the individual level, rather than about nations and strategies, this one was quite good. Envisioning a plausible scenario in which a third world war might take place, Clancy brings us a believable, well-researched, and exciting tale. It has a vast scope, ranging effortlessly from one geopolitical region to another, and from one war theatre to another.

It has a vast scope, ranging effortlessly from one geopolitical region to another, and from one war theatre to another. All the while, Clancy never forgets that such affairs are carried out by individual human beings, and he brings his characters to life. I have not read The Hunt for Red October, and so cannot comment on it, though I've heard from others that it is also a compelling read.

Mock me is you will for liking this particular Tom Clancy offering, but God help me, I consider it my favorite book. The scope and depth of all aspects of a world war, albeit an imaginary one, are breathtakingly explored in this epic novel. I've probably read it over 15 times now, and each time I feel a sense of deep satisfaction when I turn that final page. Well done, Mr. Clancy. Well done. I'm no Clancy fanboi.

The hunt for red october involves a Lithuanian soviet who is planbning on defecting to the United states. The United States does not know how to respond until one person says that he thinks he has figured it out. So he goes out to find out what the soviet defectee, Ramius, wants to do. I really liked this book, and I always like how Tom Clancy writes his books. Also if you would like to look into more about about the plot then you can see the movie "The Hunt for Red October" The hunt for red october involves a Lithuanian soviet who is planbning on defecting to the United states.

This book sucks you into a complex scenario of what a Cold-war era conventional war might be like. But it has some compelling characters and even love interests. It was too complex to ever be a Tom Clancy movie, but it's really an awesome book. The Hunt was his first big break through movie/book - loved both.

Tom Clancy is a spellbinding storyteller who has become famous from movies made from some of his books. I've read a bunch of them, but this hugely adventurous book is one of the two best he has written to date. And it's rather unique in its setting in Iceland.

Two of the best books Clancy has written. I remember reading my first reading Red Storm Rising as a freshman in high school. From then on I had to read every Clancy book, until they started declining at the end of the Jack Ryan series.

a good read after schlogging thru the first 100 pages! I've read a couple others of his books and found the same think....my family (husband and sons) were insisting it was a good story, and urged me not to give up!! a good read after schlogging thru the first 100 pages!

This is the book that launched the technothriller industry known as Clancy, Inc. It's a good one, and well worth reading. After a while the guy became a hack and, while they don't all merit reading, this one does. This is the book that launched the technothriller industry known as Clancy, Inc.

I found this book so compelling that I was reading it until the wee small hours on a "school night". When he so chooses, Tom Clancy can make geo-political maneuvering intriguing and engrossing reading. I've read this book a couple of times, in fact. It's that good.

A classic, a definite 5/5. Probably Tom Clancy's greatest creation ever. An action packed Jack Ryan novel (the first to be exact) about a Soviet Submarine Crew that attempts to defect to the U.S. with a brand new nuclear missile submarine!

This appealed to the wargearhead in me, but coincidence is Clancy's middle name, and first. Jane's defense meets Kinkade. This appealed to the wargearhead in me, but coincidence is Clancy's middle name, and first. Jane's defense meets Kinkade.

Read Red Storm Rising 2 times my senior year in high school. During classes thank you very much! I learned that the USA rocks.

Clancy at his best - in my humble opinion - RSR holds a special place as I was stationed in Iceland for 2 years. That made it quite easy to lose myself in the ol' "mind movie" while reading along.

Another good one. Detailed and interesting.

Good wartime book

Not sure why these two are combined. Red Storm Rising was good. Maybe not as great as some of Clancy's other works, but definitely worth a read. Not sure why these two are combined. Red Storm Rising was good. Maybe not as great as some of Clancy's other works, but definitely worth a read.

I first read this book back in the mid 80's. I recently re-read it and found the senior written about over 20 years ago is applicable today. I first read this book back in the mid 80's. I recently re-read it and found the senior written about over 20 years ago is applicable today.
