Publisher's Summary
When Moslem fundamentalists blow up a key Soviet oil complex, making an already critical oil shortage calamitous, the Russians figure they are going to have to take things into their own hands. They plan to seize the Persian Gulf, and more ambitiously, to neutralise NATO. Thus begins Red Storm, an audacious gamble that uses diplomatic maneuvers to cloak a crash military build-up. When Soviet tanks begin to roll, the West is caught off guard. What looks like a thrust turns into an all-out shooting war, possibly the climactic battle for control of the globe.
Critic Reviews
"Sheer grit and perserverance turn the tide in this chilling, fleshed-out war game. Readers emerge elated and breathless, with a new vision of war and its wins and losses. Clancy will win an army of fans who will be looking for more." (School Library Journal )
"He constantly taps the current world situation for its imminent dangers and spins them into an engrossing tale." (The New York Times Book Review)
"Heart-stopping action...entertaining and eminently topical." (The Washington Post)

Great WW3 story.
Good cast of characters, and a believable plot line. Narrator was good, but took some getting used to at first.

Not a simple tale
This is one of the best of Clancy's books. It is a standalone story that resonates in the current 2022 climate. There are obviously some dated parts but it doesn't detract from the story.
The narrator did a good job with the characters and I enjoyed his reading.
Well worth the time as it is a long book at over 35 hours.

Proper storytelling
I’ve read this book in paper form probably 20 times over 30 some years, the audio book still added something to the experience. An absolute classic for those that experienced the Cold War and so relevant to this day!

Red Storm Rising is a horror story.
A war that involves millions and brings humanity to the brink of doom, started by the will of a handful of parinoid men.
It's horrifying.

Sorely let down by the narration
The narrator sounds like a computer generated voice and this title is slavishly read as the original text rather than actually read as a person would. The abbreviation mk. donating the work mark is read as it constituent letters M K as an example and this is done throughout. This is fine if you are familiar with the parlance but not so much if you are not.
Story is still a classic

Red Storm Rising:
An exploration of theatre wide conventional warfare between the former USSR and NATO. Meticulous attention to detail, interweaving simultaneously a number of storylines that are dramatic and suspenseful. A boys own roller coaster that will doubtless hold you in the grip of the narration. Excellent work despite the progress of time.

Classic Clancy
Still a good story. Even though it was some time ago it was written surprisingly relevant today thanks to Putin. A ripping good yarn.

Wish for sequel
Pity there wasn't a sequel. Well written and narrated. No more technical than required for storey flow. Excellent characterisation.
