I love the film 'The Hunt for Red October'.

Tom Clancy's books are like a NATO public relations wet dream.

Read a few but they tend to be very similar. Kinda formulaic.

I'm guessing the eight films that he did for Lucas and Spielberg dwarf the entire 'Jack Ryan' franchise.

I picked one up but never finished it. I didn't think much of it. I enjoy the odd bit of pulp but I guess it wasn't my kind of pulp.

After Hours isn't the place for this. There's plenty of others you can try.
