Re-reading Red Storm Rising, which I consider Clancy's best work. Reading a fictional account of a USSR-NATO conflict during the Cold War is a lot more comforting than our current reality...

WHAT???? Where does Hunt for the Red October sit on your list? Because, bruh....that is the shit right there. In fact, I loved the film so much in 1990 that I went back to the theater FOUR TIMES...and, fun fact: it was the second-ever fanfic I ever wrote (the first was Les Mis fanfic).
Red October is probably the second best. There were some other good ones, but a lot of the Jack Ryan stuff got flaky later on. The Red October movie was good, although as much as I like Sean Connery, he and Alec Baldwin were miscast, IMHO...
Whom would you have cast in their stead? BUT. Don't you even THINK about re-casting SAM NEILL. I had the BIGGEST crush on Borodin....I was too skinny then to move to Montana and raise rabbits. BUT...I would not raise rabbits for food, come on, bro?
