Truly a Great Wrok from a Great Writer

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.

A Technothriller Classic

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.

Easily one of the best

The Hunt for Red October is easily one of the best novels I have ever read. Clancy is a master at putting the pieces in place for the current story while dropping anchors for future plotlines that come before and after the current narrative. I am sure I will read this one again, once I finish all the other books in the Ryanverse.

Clancy's first born novel

I have seen the movie for this book several times and read the novel a few years ago. As a first novel goes, this is probably one of the best for a techno-thriller. Since Clancy pretty much either invented it or re-invented it in his own image.

I base all thrillers off Clancy's novels. He is the best at it and it is fair that all be compared to Clancy :)

I enjoyed this novel very much and if I was to have joined the Navy, I would have picked the Sub to serve on because of this novel. Not to many novels focus on Subs and therefore, Clancy went into uncharted waters with this novel and it paid in dividends to Clancy and it opened up a new world for many people to see the world of Jack Ryan.
