Synopsis:
The
year is 1984. CIA analyst Jack Ryan has made such an
astounding discovery amongst his intelligence reports that
he rushes from his London base to Washington D.C. himself
with the evidence: The Soviets have launched a new type of
submarine, something bigger and more advanced than anything
the U.S. has. Further investigation leads to an even more
ominous conclusion: the sub, the Red October, has a nearly
silent propulsion system, which would allow it to get close
enough to the United States to launch nuclear missiles with
no warning.
