Editorial Review of The Hunt for Red October
Beneath the Atlantic's chilly waters, the captain of Russia's top secret missile submarine, Red October, secretly intends to defect--and U.S. intelligence agent Jack Ryan is eager to help him succeed. The Hunt for Red October is the runaway bestseller that launched Tom Clancy's phenomenal career. A military thriller so accurate and convincing that the author was rumored to have been debriefed by the White House. This techno-thriller is complete and unabridged, with a remarkable and gripping narration by one of the audio's best readers. 10 cassettes.

Review Summary: Truly a Great Wrok from a Great Writer
Review: A rare look at the first major novel written by one of the greatest writers of all time. Truly worth the money and you certainly will not be able to put it down once you begin this masterpiece.

Review Summary: Why do people like this?
Review: I have no idea why anyone would buy or read this book. I read the book and fell asleep many times while reading it in the middle of the day. Tom Clancy sure does not make it easy for people to understand what is going on and his technical wording and deep descriptions make this book one of the worst I have ever read. I would recommend watching the movie if you really want to know this story.

Review Summary: A Technothriller Classic
Review: As Clancy's first book, this novel is unsurpassed in terms of suspense, technothriller insights and geopolitical gambits. His lead character, Jack Ryan, makes his debut in this book, setting the style for his subsequent books. The key skill that Clancy possesses is the ratcheting up of the stakes on an epic level. This book set the bar for this newly formed genre. It is essential reading for the Thriller Espionage writer.

Review Summary: Chris's Reveiw
Review: This book is a pretty good book. Although this is an older book, it still intrestes me.If you didn't know that this book was turned in to a movie it was actually a great movie. For my friends, or anybody who asks me if I would recommend it, and I would say yes to anyone who likes miltary or suspense books that have drama to them.

Review Summary: A classic
Review: This is the first of Tom Clancy's books about Jack Ryan, a figure who appears frequently in the rest of his books. Although you can read them in any order you want, I would recomend reading them chronologicaly.
If you have never read a Clancy book, this is a good place to start. It contains all of his trade marks like a grand plot where nations stand against eachother, lots of detailed information on military equipment and a writing style that makes you forget how thick this book really is.
