1) Paperback Book Red Storm Rising by Berkley. I first read this book way back when I was 15 and to be totally honest I gave up reading it after a while ( I was more into girls and Iron Maiden at the Time). Now 36 (still into Iron Maiden and my wife ;)I gave it a shot back to Mr. Clamcy´s RED STORM RISING.

By far the book it´s impressive, fast and furious. Although the world had changed a lot since the publication of this fine war book the big WHAT IF!!! REMAINS.

Soviet Union finds itself on the brink of disaster when a small group of terrorist blew out the map one of their most important oil refineries. Short on fuel, food and winter knocking on "Ivan´s" doorsteps they make an outrageous move, KILL NATO and get what they need by force. I wont go into plot details, enough saying that NATO and the Soviet Union unleash hell all over the world, "kissing" each other with non-nuclear weapons.....scary stuff.

What is great about this book is that you don´t need to be a soldier or someone literate on army, navy and air force stuff to get the point. Mr. Clancy uses this kind of language perfectly balanced so the common reader (that will be me) who don´t know the first thing about weapons or aircraft, tanks, SAMS, submarines wont get bored.

Different characters in different situations on both sides. RED STORM RISING is a great fast and thrilling war book. I recommend this one for sure.

Cheers!!!!

2) Paperback Book Red Storm Rising by Berkley. I love Tom Clancy. In fact I can safely say that Cardinal for the Kremlin is one of my all time favorite books. So when I heard that there was a novel out there about WWIII with soviets I jumped right on it.

Big Mistake.

I was expecting a book about major battles and world changing events. I was expecting to see the world structure change right before my very eyes! Although this is a great concept, I feel like Mr. Clancy spent too much time on minor things.

******SPOILER*******
I don´t care about 3 men stuck on hill 142. I didn´t want to hear about the personal feelings of a submarine captain. I wanted to read about major world changing battles, and got nothing of the sort.¤

3) Paperback Book Red Storm Rising by Berkley. This is Clancy´s only novel that does not reflect the Ryan-verse of his other novels. This one follows mostly one soldier in Iceland. When Russia overwhelms Europe to create the third world war.

This novel was a very easy read and is very well written. After reading the book, I felt like i should take a visit to Iceland. He did a good job describing Iceland.

With Russia hurting for oil, after a terrorist attack on their oil supplies, Russia strikes Europe in order to gain back what they lost, oil. The story is a good reminder as to why a country should not fight for oil, because oil maybe the very thing that defeats them.¤

4) Paperback Book Red Storm Rising by Berkley. By far, the BEST book written by Tom Clancy. I have read many of his books and this one is the best. Never any chapters or areas that drop off or put you to sleep. It is a non stop action book based on the what if scenario of WWWIII. The opening chapter starts with radical Islamist terrorism in Siberia and the action never stops. Clancy´s use of military technological weapons and tactics is superb. The research used in putting this thriller together was extensive. The progress of the book is extremely realistic and is very relevant for TODAY even though the book is now eleven years old.Weapons on both sides, east and west have improved beyond the book but with the global changes brought on by the terrorist attacks of 9/11, it will always have a current place for readers, and offer a place a revelance to our times and beyond.¤

5) Paperback Book Red Storm Rising by Berkley. The first thing you will notice about Red Storm rising is that it is a cold war era book. However, that does not take away from the great story telling that goes into it and describing both the main story and the numerous back stories that surround this book. The book is a great read for people who love military, Suspense or Tom Clancy novel but if you cringe at war then dont buy this book. The only reason i gave it a four was becasue of the age of the book. Had it been made in a more current time it would have gotten a five. Other than that for anyone who loves these books this is anexcellent addition to anyone´s collection or Library.¤

6) Paperback Book Red Storm Rising by Berkley. From the author of The Hunt For Red October, a New York Times bestseller for over 40 weeks, comes his greatest performance yet. Red Storm Rising is an alarmingly authentic portrait of escalating aggression between superpowers on all fronts--land, sea, air and space.¤

7) Paperback Book Red Storm Rising by Berkley. Using the latest advancements in military technology, the world´s superpowers battle it out on land, sea, and air for the ultimate global control. A chillingly authentic vision of modern war, Red Storm Rising is as powerful as it is ambitious. It´s a story you will never forget.

Hard-hitting, suspenseful, and frighteningly real.
