I actually have some thick Clancy books that I haven’t gotten around to reading. Red October and Sum of All Fears being two I want to read first
Red October is not a bad book to start with. Sum of all Fears will piss you off if you saw the Ben Afleck movie adaptation.
I heard that. In the book it’s Muslim terrorists and not Russian right? Was Clancy in the military or did he just have very good contacts for Military info?
In the book it is an Iranian who is dying of cancer, and wants to ignite a nuclear holocaust. Clancy never served, he was just very good at research. Red October was the first book he wrote, and lots of people questioned where he got his info, but apparently it was all open sourced.
He was very good at military fiction so I always assumed either he served or came from a military family
Red October is fantastic. My first Clancy book and I was hooked from the first few pages, it was so much fun trying to piece together this conspiracy and how the pieces will move before it all happens. A sufficient level of technical explanation for the nerds like me as well.
