                     Fanatastic - Gripping & Great Ending !!


Somewhere under the Atlantic, a Soviet sub commander has just made a
fateful decision: the Red October is heading west. The Americans want
her. The Russians want her back. And the most incredible chase in
history is on.... The Hunt for Red October is the runaway bes tseller that
launched Tom Clancys phenomenal career. A military thriller so accurate
and convincing that the author was rumored to have been debriefed by
the White House. Its theme: the greatest espionage coup in history. Its
story: the chase for a runaway top secret Russian missile sub.

When this book first was published, the Navy and CIA were worried there
was a leak in Naval operations, that is how accurate Clancy was in his
story telling. The stalking of Soviet subs by the US subs which were better,
quieter and more aggressive, the "Crazy Ivan" moves, experimental
propulsion systems all add to the realism of this novel.

It's addictive reading. It's believable (OK, so Jack Ryan is perfect all
American father/husband/patriot, but shouldn't our all of our hero's be?). It
is a techno-thriller, but sets the standards by which others have been
measured since Clancy wrote this one. It has politics, good guys vs bad
guys and plenty of suspense. There are many things to be learned f rom
this novel about life on board a modern sub, the tactics both sides
used....maybe that is why it has been so popular and still stands the test of
time. The movie was also excellent and faithful to the book. Highly
recommended.
