Far from being Clancy's best work, he gets too bogged down in acronyms & technojargon. This is completely unrelated to any of his Jack Ryan books.
A former CIA analyst I met years ago told me that at the time this was written, Clancy disclosed some classified information in the text just to show that he had high-level sources & could do it . Subsequently, he went into hiding for a while, until things cooled down, and he patched things up with the feds.
The guy who told me the story might have just been a blowhard for all I know. It made for an interesting story though, LOL. In a way, the story seems to fit since this book is so different from Clancy's other books. I'm used to reading acronyms & military jargon in his novels, but it was excessive in this, his second novel. Red October wasn't nearly as bad in that regard, and neither were his subsequent books.

As with all of his novels, Red Storm Rising displays Tom's accurate knowledge of the military, politics, and foreign relations. Even though written in the 80s, this book still rings true with how complex and intricate a modern world war would be
