About this listen
The runaway international No.1 bestseller that launched Tom Clancy’s spectacular career – became a blockbuster film – and introduced Jack Ryan.
THE HUNT IS ON…
Silently, beneath the chill Atlantic waters, Russia’s ultra-secret missile submarine, the Red October, is heading west.
The Americans want her. The Russians want her back. With all-out war only seconds away, the superpowers race across the ocean on the most desperate mission of a lifetime.

Amazing book
Amazing story. Especially action in last several chapters. When you think everything was done, another turn takes place.

Great story, great performance
The story is both very informative and thrilling, even though a bit unrealistic :). I like the performance, not least the Russian-English voices, which to my mind, having been a lot in Russia were very authentic.

Jack Ryan's keen intellect drops him into a story spiraling out of his hands
Very captivating story of underwater military live and mentality on both sides of the iron curtain.

Still the best Tom Clancy
Tom Clancy was a product of the cold war and his books were best when it was still ongoing. Doing well to provide a rich background, a good story arch, and intersperse thrilling action into the story, The Hunt For Red October is perhaps his best.
The narrator was clear and easy to follow. They give the feeling for being new and budding in this field. Quality wavers, enough to be noticed, not enough to stop listening. Plain narration tends to get kind of stodgy while dialogue flows smoothly.

Horrible narration
Good thing I had read the novel first, otherwise the robotic narration devoid of emotion would have never allowed me to finish this grand epic of a tale. Story 5 stars, narration 0, but alas the lowest rating is 1.

Great Story
The story waw great as all clancy novels are but the narration was appaulling. Thae narrator was unable to change his voice for the different characters and they all merge into one. It was difficult to listen to. They need to redo it with someone who can really narrate an audio book.
