À propos de cet audio

When Muslim 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 neutralize NATO. Thus begins Red Storm, an audacious gamble that uses diplomatic maneuver 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.

loved the story, and the storyline still relative to todays politics between Russia, US and NATO.

Story today as good today as first time read book

Prichard's voice works wonderfully for this one. Well-read.

As for the story: it's an interesting read as an alt-history (though it was written as near-future extrapolation), but it's both too sprawling and too focused to excel. Meaning: the story is so broad in its aspirational scope (a full-out World War 3 between NATO and the USSR) that the reader can't help but feel shortchanged when it doesn't live up to it (for example, an all-encompassing World War should involve the World - rather than just Iceland, Germany, and the North Atlantic); and the decision to anchor this tale to the perspectives of a few figures in the three military theaters emphasizes this shortcoming. Thin characters don't help, but I suppose we're not really coming to Tom Clancy for deep meditations on humanity's nature.

Enjoyable, but not as good as his later work, and not something I'd return to.

Middling Military Fiction

one of 5he longest books I have actually read. 1st time in grade nine 1991. Found this book in my high school library. I have read it five times and now listened once. it would be a long one, but a great movie could be made based on this novel. WWIII fiction at it's best!!

The best WWIII Fiction Ever!!

Always enjoy anything by Mr Clancy and his favorite nemesis. I wonder what people would say if the Russians won...

I love the detail

QA on the narration was pretty poor. lost track of the times he called it a "submarine" gun.

good story narration needs a bit of work.

Loads of high tech & weapon details but weak on story and characters. Narrative is monotone

Decent but weak.

Great book! Will be listening to again at some point love Tom Clancy’s books hard to beat in my opinion. It’s amazing how well Tom Clancy predicted certain aspects of how a Soviet style attack on western style forces would play out. This book is constantly referenced by commentators on the war in Ukraine and it’s pretty dead on. Recommended listening!!

Classic and hard to beat
