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.

Surprisingly good
After reading the comments about the narrator, I was unsure about this audiobook, however the story was good from the outset and although flagged a couple of times (as to be expected in a 17 hour book), it was paced well with enough action and story to keep me engaged with it.
The narrator may not be the best, and he may say the same word differently in the same sentence (Dallas or dalis!) but he made a decent stab at it, with the odd Russian and english accents as required and didn't detract from the story for me.
Cracking book and decent enough narration, I'd recommend this story.

Awesome, apart from the British accents
Love this book, as good as I remember reading it for the first time 25 years ago. Only problem is the catastrophically bad British accents.

watched the film... this is better
I saw the film years ago so looked forward to this... the subtle differences made in the film are there. this story is excellent just as you relax thinking all was finished back to action stations.

Absolute page turner (figuratively)
Having seen and loved the film I thought I would give the novel a try. Well worth the adventure.
The plot is well detailed, expertly crafted and in places shockingly exciting for an audiobook; Lance C Fuller is a wonderful narrator with some great character voices. Very rarely do you feel lost or overwhelmed at key points in the book. 10/10 would read again.

Book vs Film
Saw the film first, decided to read book, then got audible. Thoroughly enjoyed everyone.

Gripping read
Yet again Tom Clancy does not fail to deliver. Strangely, the story here is slightly different to the paperback, and both are very different than the movie, which had around 25% of the story edited out.
