About this product

Product Information

Tom Clancy's second classic No 1 bestselling thriller - a chillingly authentic vision of modern war - now reissued in a new cover. Three Muslim terrorists who destroyed the Soviet Union's largest petrochemical plant thought they were striking a blow for freedom. What they had done, unknowingly, was fire the first shots in World War III. Desperately short of oil, the Kremlin hawks see only one way of solving their problem: seize supplies in the Persian Gulf. To do that, they must first neutralise NATO's forces and eliminate their response - and so they develop Red Storm, a dazzling master plan of diplomatic subterfuge and intense rearmament. The battle lines are drawn and Armageddon beckons...

  • Good in parts

    It's a military techno-thriller with a mix of Cold War 'what if', some informed guesswork on how certain events might develop, and a two-dimensional, characterless and unconvincing love interest. Certain of the scenarios - Russian tank/motor rifle regiment battles, submarine ops centre exchanges - seem to reflect an almost 'insider briefing'. Others are disappointingly weak and inadequate while others still, including several of the air-air exchanges, are implausible. I compare it unfavourably with Sir John Hackett's 'The Third World War'. The book ( revisited ) is worth the small cost, second-hand. I wouldn't choose to pay the 'new' price.

  • Totally absorbing from end to end

    This is I believe Tom Clancy's most definitive novel. I was absorbed from the very first pages through to the last, many a time unable to put it down and awaiting the next opportunity to get back to it. The action, layout, events, characters, all totally absorbing and believable. As a work of fiction it showed the capabilities of military hardware in a modern day setting. which also showed a great level of research. Cannot recommend it enough.

  • Great Read

    Fictional (obviously!) account of the origins and course of WW3. Well writtten andconvincing and a real page turner as they say. I've read this book before and lost the original copy, so this was a replacement.

  • A book about coloured meteorology !

    I bought a copy, because I can't find my original. I would not however have had to buy the paperback copy if it was on Kindle. I will hopefully enjoy reading it when and if Easyjet recommece flights to and from Kefalonia
