1) Paperback Book The Hunt for Red October (Special 15th Anniversary Edition) by Berkley Trade. 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.¤

2) Paperback Book The Hunt for Red October (Special 15th Anniversary Edition) by Berkley Trade. 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.¤

3) Paperback Book The Hunt for Red October (Special 15th Anniversary Edition) by Berkley Trade. 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.¤

4) Paperback Book The Hunt for Red October (Special 15th Anniversary Edition) by Berkley Trade. 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.¤

5) Paperback Book The Hunt for Red October (Special 15th Anniversary Edition) by Berkley Trade. 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.¤
