Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy – Review

Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy

The book is a modern wartime thriller based on the premise of cold war conflict. The large scale, land, air and sea battles are crisply described, building tension and curiosity in the reader, making it very hard to put the book down. The story is told from a handful of main characters, serving in their particular war arena, be it in depth battle or intelligence briefings. This allows the story to shift between actions across the planet in a realtime scenario, building the bigger war picture and highlighting the conflicts that each character must face.

The real success of this book comes from it’s composition. It’s consistent in it’s writing, and it manages to avoid bogging you down in technobabble and dialogue. It leads and you follow, willingly.
