Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising: An Edge-of-Your-Seat Suspense Thriller

Jonathan Rothwell: A very intricate and detailed story about a future war in Europe told through the eyes of several protaganists on both sides of the conflict.
Some of the technology is slightly dated now ( it was written 30 years ago), but it is still chillingly relevent today.
A fantastic read for anyone interested in military and political fiction.

Dr. Rob: While this was a compelling and page turning story which I enjoyed. I do not understand why the publishers/Authors call it a "Jack Ryan Novel" on the front cover - unless I missed something there is not one character in this story named "Jack Ryan" . Never the less it was a compelling story. But it loses a (Red) star for the marketing subterfuge worthy of the KGB and "maskirovka" (strategic deception - as per its use in the story)

Kindle Customer: This is my favourite book. I must have read it four or five times over the years, OK so it's dated cold war scenario. Forget this, it's an exciting read, it's as true to life as could be possible, as an ex cold war warrior it has a resonance of truth running through it. It has several central characters and concurrent stories all linked. It's just an awesome exciting action packed read, read. Read!

Andrew Rundle: Great story. Love the technology and characters. Engrossing, didn’t want to put it down. And this my 3rd time reading.

J.D. Doyle: The subject matter is World War III. Seems to be more poignant as each day passes. Tom Clancey weaves a great tale in this terrible setting. Characters are real and have the same faults every human has. This book is a page turner and a thrill ride from start to finish.

Bandon Bill: A bit dated but still a great read! Masterful storytelling, the Soviet threat is gone but the nuclear threat remains.

Amazon Customer: Rasenta il manuale per la guerra moderna da quanto è dettagliato. Molto sbilanciato sul fronte sottomarino, un po' tirati via gli scontri terrestri, superbi i duelli aerei. Resta magistrale e quasi unico nel suo genere. Per veri maniaci, che sicuramente si godranno ogni pagina e faranno i debiti paragoni con il fronte russo-ucraino odierno. Chiaramente se non si è appassionati del genere, le stelle scendono. Ma se state leggendo le recensioni di un romanzo di Tom Clancy...

Matt Boone: Outside of being yet another great Tom Clancy military book: I loved the pacing of each individual story. Some booms attempt to tell the stories of multiple people and flop, but Red Storm Rising weaves an entagled and thrilling world with multiple characters, interleaving their struggle for survival.

Empe: In edizione originale, in formato kindle in offerta, l'occasione di rileggere un gran bel libro sulla "III Guerra Mondiale", quella che ci si aspettava di combattere "all'antica" (tra colonne corazzate, convogli, scontri campali in genere) prima che Ronald e Margaret (come scrisse l'Autore) vincessero la guerra fredda. E dopo alcuni decenni di asimmetrie e scenari terzomondiali, la guerra in Ucraina ci ha bruscamente ricordato che "a volte" il nemico va ancora affrontato in battaglie "vere" magari passando da una trincea all'altra. Il volume a suo tempo venne scritto quasi "a quattro mani" con Larry Bond, altro maestro del tecno-militare (leggetevi i suoi notevoli volumi con scenari similari) ed è uno dei primi volumi del Nostro la cui produzione (anche postuma) è poi degenerata in una scrittura in cooperativa incentrata sulla famiglia Ryan. Ulteriore motivo per (ri)leggerlo con rimpianto.
