Red Storm Rising Audiobook

" I read the book years ago, I drive semi and listening to books is a good thing to do. "

" Red storm Rising is a book that will keep your motions up, wanting to listen to the fascinating story development more and more. Tom Clancy bring us to the different war scenes, Sea, Air and land, all through the eyes of soldiers and officers, Pilots, Seamen and infantry. Both sides, West and east. And describing the different technology of war machines without being too technical about them. A great book, a great story, a must for all Tom Clancy’s lovers. I definitely recommend this book! "

" I originally read this book in 1990 right before I transferred to Iceland when I was in the Navy, Clancy NAILS the descriptions of the Icelandic people and countryside. Some people have said that this book is a tad bit frenetic, bouncing from one theatre of operations to another... for me this lent additional realism to the book. If we were to ever REALLY go to war with Russia, everything would be happening at one time all over the globe. Knowing what I know from my time on active duty, it is scary how dead on Clancy is in his portrayal of war. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who thinks that Russia is our friend... I am not saying that they are not, but I am saying that they approach life differently than we do, and this book shows that very well. A GREAT READ (OR LISTEN) "

" The world war that fortunately never happened. A solid military thriller. "

" Best Tom Clancy book ever!! "

" Still my favorite Tom Clancy book. Maybe it has to do with the absence of Jack Ryan and his loaded history---I can just enjoy this book for itself without keeping track of 50 characters from the string of Ryan books. "

" What Clancy did early on was research; very good research. This book suggests a limited war between the USSR and Nato. It's depiction of AirLand Battle doctrine of the time was surprisingly accurate. For me, a veteran, it was a very good read. "

" One of the better Clany books. Not about Jack Ryan though "

" Abridged Audio Book version. Typical Tom Clancy; i.e. more intricate and exciting then real events. Was an interesting listen. "

" Vintage Tom Clancy, technothriller at its best minus all that Jack Ryan crap. "

" Great book, and a good story. Tom flows you around the different front of the war in a seamless and stimulating way. First time I read for Tom Clancy, and I like it :) "

" An interesting cold war era book on the land war in Europe that was never waged. The most interesting sequences are often the descriptions of how the technology in weapon systems work (but then again I'm an electronic engineer by education). "

" Funny how when an author is hot they are hot but then "where have they gone". "

" Although it kept my interest whilst in my hands, I find I have little recollection of the story itself, just a couple of months after finishing it. "

" very very nice. enjoyed it immensely. "

" A lot of action but the book was a little too long. At times it got too detailed explaining the weapons and details about the airplanes and tanks that I just didn't care about. A minor annoyance in what is a fun beach book. "

" Loved Third World War possibility, before Cold War ended "

" This is still my favorite book by Tom Clancy - I went through a phase where I read a bunch of them. "

" This is still my favorite Clancy book. It is a long and involved book with a lot of character development and many plot twists, but it is one that was hard to put down. "

" getting too technical, might not go for more? "

" I think this is the only book I've ever read 3 times! Greatness. "

" My favorite book by this author. I have enjoyed all his books, but this one really stands it. The author has an amazing grasp of world affairs and how political power can be wielded for good or for evil. "

" Very awesome book. It has dated itself with some of the technology specs but still a very intense look. This would have been a very scary book to read during the Cold War when it came out originally. "

" I read this about the same time as the USSR was falling apart. Scary! "

" Truly amazing view of possible world war. "

" Excellent book! Coincidentally I was sailing on a Lykes Brothers ship (SS Elizabeth Lykes)when I read this. The Soviets used one of the Lykes C-4 (The Doctor Lykes I believe) for the invasion. "

" Started off slow. Ending was anti-climactic. "

" The ultimate scenario for World War III. Well, during the Cold War era, that is. The most action-packed novel from Clancy with almost all kinds of warfare you can imagine. Dogfights, submarine battles, tank attacks...This is Clancy at his best. "

" This book is about a war that could have happened in the 1980's between NATO and the Soviet Union. This is a great book about war and was written for a "who could write a longest book in the allotted amount of time" contest between him and Stephen King. This is a book I would recommend to everyone. "

" Genre - I loved the many subplots that drew seamlessly into a the whole. "

" I always appreciated the fact that Clancy always tries to include women in his books where appropriate without it being forced. You can always count on female pilots, ops, and control agents in his books. "

" A great war college scenario for a hot war in Europe; perfect read for techno-chauvinists. But, in the end, all the Clancy I could handle. "

" getting too technical, might not go for more? "

" This is a classic, a book that needs to be read every 3 years or so. Such a great effort at a time when Clancy could be edited. so, despite the techno, the book really moves. "

" one of the most amazing books I've read. the level of knowledge and attention to many details is amazing.<br/>out of several thousand books I've read , this is one of very few 5 stars. "

" Still my favorite Tom Clancy book. Maybe it has to do with the absence of Jack Ryan and his loaded history---I can just enjoy this book for itself without keeping track of 50 characters from the string of Ryan books. "

" Despite the complexity of running several story lines simultaneously, this book holds up for year after year. I re-read portions every year or two. "

" Can't remember when I read this. It was a long time ago. "

" Should be required reading for all new officers in the Armed Forces for its leadership principles. "
