APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The Hunt for Red October stands at the highest summit of the techno-thriller genre. Tom Clancy’s mechanical know-how and relatable characters made his debut an instant Cold War classic when it was published in 1984—and they’re why the book holds up decades later. In this code-orange game of Battleship, everyman CIA agent Jack Ryan hitches a ride on a state-of-the-art American sub to search for a defecting Soviet captain. John Krasinski brings the action hero’s uncanny instincts and unflappable calm to life in TV’s Jack Ryan series, but this tightly-plotted thrill ride remains the best place to get to know the character.
