Description
The Hunt for Red October – Tom Clancy introduced the world to the legendary CIA analyst Jack Ryan. In this high-stakes tale, a Soviet submarine captain defies orders and heads for the United States coast. The Americans want to help him defect, while the Russians are desperate to destroy their own ship.
The story provides an authentic look at naval technology and Cold War strategy. It remains one of the most famous techno-thrillers ever written. This pre-owned paperback is in good condition with a solid spine. The pages show some characteristic yellowing, but they remain clean and perfectly readable. It is a fantastic “golden oldie” for any thriller fan’s collection.
Sinopsis: Somewhere under the freezing 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. The chase for the highly advanced nuclear submarine is on—and there’s only one man who can find her… Brilliant CIA analyst Jack Ryan has little interest in fieldwork, but when covert photographs of Red October land on his desk, Ryan soon finds himself in the middle of a high-stakes game of hide-and-seek played by two world powers—a game that could end in all-out war. – Goodreads
