Summary
When a Soviet captain uses one of the fleet's most destructive yet valuable nuclear submarines as an escape vehicle, the United States and the Soviets race to stop the sub. The Soviets are ordered to find and destroy the renegades at any cost. But if the United States fleet can find the sub first and get her safely to port, it will be considered one of the highest intelligence achievements of all time.

Featured title on PBS's The Great American Read in 2018

The #1 New York Times bestseller that launched the phenomenal career of Tom Clancy--a gripping military thriller that introduced the world to his unforgettable hero, Jack Ryan.

Somewhere under the freezing Atlantic, a Soviet sub commander has just made a fateful decision. The Red October is heading west. The Americans want her. The Russians want her back. The chase for the highly advanced nuclear submarine is on--and there's only one man who can find her....

Brilliant CIA analyst Jack Ryan has little interest in fieldwork, but when covert photographs of Red October land on his desk, Ryan soon finds himself in the middle of a high-stakes game of hide-and-seek played by two world powers--a game that could end in all-out war.
