Beneath the Atlantic's chilly waters, the captain of Russia's top secret missile submarine, Red October, secretly intends to defect--and U.S. intelligence agent Jack Ryan is eager to help him succeed.

THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER, Tom Clancy
Publisher's Note
Both the Americans and the Soviets commence an intense naval search when a trusted and skilled Soviet naval officer defects--using the USSR's most valuable nuclear submarine as his escape vehicle.
I thought this was an excellent book. The movie was done well, also, with Sean Connery as the Russian captain.
" Top military and intellegence personnel on both sides of the Iron Curtain are reading a remarkable work of fiction ~a new thriller so gripping in its action and so convincing in its accuracy that the author is rumored to have been debriefed by the white house."
