Review of 'The Hunt for Red October (Special 15th Anniversary Edition)' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Cold War military porn from the same template as Seven Days in May but somewhat more ham-handed an absolutely brimming with bias. It's a shame because Clancy clearly does great research. His characters are stock and the dialogue is so often on the nose.
