Summary: The Soviet UnionAttacks
Review: This book starts out with a Muslim terrorist group attacking, and destroying, 30% of The Siviet Union's oil supply. They all ready have a horrible economy. The oil loose will probably comepletely destroy their country. There descion is to attack the countries in the Middle East. The UN defends them and the whole thing turns literally into World War III. There are mainy stories going on throughout the book. All are expertily written. This book is, in my opnion, Clancy's best.

Rating:
Summary: An extremely realistic and exciting scenario for WWIII
Review: This is my favorite Clancy book. After a terrorist attack leaves the Soviet Union vulnerable they plan to take desperate action against the West and the wealthy nations of the Middle East.

Rating:
Summary: Clancy when he still had an editor
Review: This is an exelent book. It manages to refrain from the flag waving that has affected Clancy's latest books. If you like this book I recomend that you read the books writen by Clancy's co-author, Larry Bond and play the computer game Harpoon.

Summary: Tom Clancy's best?
Review: This is undoubtably the most chilling example of how close the world was to complete destruction if WW3 had ever broken out. With the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end (?) of the Comunist USSR, it isn't as hard-hitting as it was when it first came out in the high-tension atmosphere of the Cold War, but this does not distract from what is a bloody good read. If people sight any other Clancy book as being his best, they haven't read this book.

Rating:
Summary: A good story but some parts are slow.
Review: This book was not one of my favorite Clancy novels. The techno-warfare is accurate and well-researched, and there are a number of exciting parts, but there are also some parts that are slow-reading, drawn out sections that I found boring and/or tedious. I think too much writing was spent on character development for the Clancy fan who is looking for an exciting adventure story that moves at a good clip. The contrast between The Hunt for Red October, which reads at a much faster pace, and Red Storm Rising is vast. I think this book is worth reading but one should be prepared to spend a disproportionate amount of time reading the story.

Summary: Clancy 's best to date
Review: In Red Storm Rising Tom Clancy writes one of the best World War III scenarios I have ever come across. The details he gives about the different weapons and the people are spactacular and will keep a person glued to the book, I know I couldn't take my hands off it. Clancy outdoes himself with the details of the F-19 stealth fighter. Somehow he found out about the F-117A stealth fighter and to prove he wasn't just guessing also gave the exact number of aircraft that we possessed at the books writing. I reccomend this book to anyone that likes the genre, garunteed to be a good read.

Rating:
Summary: The Best WWIII book I've read!!
Review: It was the first Clancy book I read, and even though I now own all of his books, this is the one I still go back and re-read every few months. Even though it was set in the 'Cold War' era, it still has a lot of relevance to the times we live in. The political faces may change but the policies sometimes remain all to similar.

Rating:
Summary: His best work ever
Review: I have read all of Tom Clany's fiction and non-fiction books, and have found that Red Storm Rising is by far the best integration of modern military warfare, story telling and realism that I have yet to find in the shelves of stores. I strongly recommend this book for anyone entering into the joys of reading scifi-tech oriented novels.
