Synopsis
Tom Clancy's rich imagination and his remarkable grasp of the capabilities of advanced technology give this novel an amazing ring of authenticity. It is a thriller with a new twist, a "military procedural" with an ingenious, tightly woven plot that revolves around the defection of a Soviet nuclear submarine--the USSR's newest and most valuable ship, with its most trusted and skilled officer at the helm. A deadly serious game of hide-and-seek is on. The entire Soviet Atlantic Fleet is ordered to hunt down the submarine and destroy her at all costs. The Americans are determined to find her first and get her safely to port in the intelligence coups of all time. But the Red October has a million square miles of ocean to hide in and a new silent propulsion system that is impossible to detect. Or is it? Her daring and cunning captain, Marko Ramius, thinks so. The commander of the Soviet's fastest attack submarine, however, is confident that he will find his prey. And Bart Mancuso, the aggressive commander of the U.S. Navy attack sub the Dallas, is counting on the sensitive ears of his resourceful young sonar operator to identify Red October 's unique sound print and track her down. The nerve-wracking hunt goes on for eighteen days as the Red October stealthily eludes her hunters across 4,000 miles of ocean. But just short of Ramius's objective, his submarine converges with the others in a rousing climax that is one of the most thrilling underwater scenes ever written. Can the start of all-out war be avoided? The outcome is clear only on the very last pages., Also Availble as an Audio Edition from Audible via Amazon Tom Clancy's rich imagination and his remarkable grasp of the capabilities of advanced technology give this novel an amazing ring of authenticity.

    A really excellent, thoughtful seller. The item was exactly as described, beautifully packaged and very promptly delivered some days earlier than expected. Postage from Ohio to England is not cheap but well worth it in this case. Delighted with my purchase.

    Seller was straight forward in his description, pointed out underlining in this good + book described as acceptable. Noted the book was a reprint. More than fair price, outstanding communication, very nice packaging ( fully protected my purchased item. Many sellers use pics to show good features and avoid showing defects in pics and descriptions. Neglecting to mention odors, underlings, cracked spines. Not so with this seller, I do not hesitate to recommend him and I will be a repeat buyer, 5 +.

    Good hardcover copy of a classic

    Everything is first-rate about this now-classic . . . except I was hoping for a dust jacket, and none was included (though pictured). Small complaint--I still am very happy to have an early hardcover copy!!

    Thanks

    Thank you for this book. I needed a hardback for my Tom Clancy collection and yours was just as described. The book itself is always a great read.

    Wonderful Read

    Absolutely fantastic book, read the first couple hundred pages in about a weeks time, then the last 150 all in one sitting, just couldn't let myself put the book down until the conclusion!
