Summary: A pulse pounding, realistic, technological thriller
Review: This is one of Clancy's finest. Only Red October and Rainbow Six comes close. He gives such a detailed account that you feel that you are right there. World War III breaks out when a key Soviet oil complex are destroyed by Muslim terrorists. The Politburo is then forced to attack NATO in an attempt to obtain oil from the Persian Gulf. Clancy blends raw human emotion with techological wizardry he is renowned for. It is shockingly realistic, although outdated. Only Clancy can write such a realistic and gripping story. If you read only one Clancy novel, this is the one to read.

Summary: A Pulse Pounding Technological Thriller
Review: This is one of Clancy's finest work. Rainbow Six is also very excellent. He vividly describes the showdown of the two major military superpowers struggling for ultimate supremacy over the world. He blends raw human emotion with his techological wizardry he is renowned for, to make an intriguing story. Only Tom Clancy can write such a captivating story with such realistic detail. If you read only one book by Clancy, this is the one to read.

Summary: If "The Hunt for Red October" was the lure...
Review: ...then "Red Storm Rising" was the hook that converted interested readers into die-hard Tom Clancy fans back in the mid-1980s. In this, Clancy's second book, he really hits his stride as the master author of military techno-thrillers. Clancy uses a layered story-telling approach in his version of WWIII; Warsaw Pact and NATO forces face off in western Europe and in the Atlantic while the USSR makes a bold bid to solve an energy crisis precipitated by terrorists. The story unfolds quickly, and the ride doesn't slow down until the last page of the book. The reader is taken along for action on and under the Atlantic, on the ground in Iceland and the European mainland, and in the air, as Soviet and NATO military machines try to outfox and outfight each other. This is story-telling on a global scale. If you've never read a Tom Clancy novel this is a great one to try first. If you're looking for a grand adventure, I highly recommend this book! 5 stars all the way! If you like this Clancy book, you will probably also enjoy some of his others..."The Hunt for Red October," "Debt of Honor," and "Executive Decision" being the most likely candidates. If you are more into political intruige I recommend that you try "Patriot Games" and "Clear and Present Danger." Happy reading! Alan Holyoak

Summary: Family wears out Red Storm
Review: My husband, son, and I have read and reread this Clancy classic so often that our paperback has worn out! We devour Clancy novels like the proverbial peanuts, yet this is still our collective favorite - a total of 15 readthroughs at last count! I'm purchasing the hardcover today!

Summary: Clancy's Second Best
Review: I've read the majority of Clancy's books in the past year and i find him great one of the best authors. Up there with Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Robert Magammon and Micheal Chricton. Now the best book madeby Tom was Rainbow Six and this came in a close second place. I had buht the book and then idn't expect that it would be that great because it's basd on WW3 and its 725 pg's long so i didn't ed it for the longest time. That was my mistake i should have read it right away. It took me under a week to read it was so good. He describes the war so well and the battle seens he wrote it was like i was there. He made the war even and not lop-sided (like he did in SSN) he made both sides win the battles. For some reason though i wanted the Russians to in this book i guess i'm just sick of always seeing the Yankee's win (there so full of themselves when it comes to war movies or books. They think there the best). Any way this is a must read for everyone unless you hate war.

Summary: Red Storm Rising - An Epic War Novel
Review: The novel "Red Storm Rising" by Tom Clancy, is a novel of war that incorporates suspense and excellent characterization, as well as all kinds of fascinating battles. Submarine battles, air raids, politics, and tank skirmishes make this book endlessly engrossing. A terrorist attack on the leading Soviet oil plant causes a series of events that begins a new war between NATO and the Soviet Union. The thrilling war epic is so realistic you will be sad when you finish it. Even if you do not read very often, this book is sure to grab your attention and imagination and keep it till the last pages. It is one of the best books I have ever read.

Summary: A writer's star rises....
Review: This was the first Clancy book I read (despite it having been published after "The Hunt For Red October". It's excellent. It tells the story of World War Three in a way which makes sense of the Cold War. It tells the story of a truly global struggle (some of the action actually takes place in an tiny, insignificant part of the world little-known to U.S.A. and English writers: the Southern Hemisphere)from the perspectives of a few well-written and created characters. Any war is difficult to dramatise, which is why many current writers tend to write more about the machines than the men who operate them - a trap Clancy himself has occasionally fallen into. But in this yarn, he blends the need for technical detail well with the desirability of telling the human story. Of all Clancy's books, "Red Storm Rising", "Debt of Honour", and "Rainbow Six" are the best: and they're all, principally, people stories. Mind you - whenever there's a new Clancy on the shelves, I buy it. Despite all the knockers, he is still the Champ. Don't we all just love to chop down the tall poppies?

Summary: way too long
Review: An overlong, occasionally enjoyable book of exceedingly narrow competence. It's about techno jargon and little else. I guess this kind of reading material is OK once in a great while. After about 500 pages it became interminable. It was like being stuck in a shoot-em-up video game without an escape key. Couldn't wait for it to end and started skimming, something I abhor to do.

Summary: Gripping Action
Review: The first time I read Red storm rising, I didn't want to stop reading it. It really grabbed me. I hated to have to put it down. But, by the same token I was aware that I was enjoying it so much that I didn't want it to end either. So, I found myself going back over details just to savor the way this story is told. I've read it four times now, and I'll read it again, and again. I think this was one of Mr Clancy's best books. Anyone who likes action with a lot of detail; detail so your sure you can see exactly whats going on----- READ Red Storm Rising.
