Superbly crafted, this was a thrill to read. Clancy's attention to detail and technical aspects of submarine warfare adds a richness to the book. I absolutely enjoyed it, was hard to put down.

This was a hard book for me to read. First (maybe last) Tom Clancy that I’ve read and his writing style is not to my liking. Way more details about submarines than I can handle. And I feel like Jack Ryan wasn’t even in half the book!

I really enjoyed this book my freshman year in college. I drove my friends crazy as I kept telling them about it.
