Welcome to Litsy!

71/100 If you are a fan of the Tom Clancy novel of the late 80s - early 90s, this is the book for you. I felt such a wave of deja vu, it was like discovering a lost Clancy novel. The book is a chunkster, 692 pages, but it's worth the time. There's two stories intertwined: A mIlitary general stages a coup to overthrow the Russian government and replace the president with military dictatorship, while his cohorts plan to crash the American ⬇️

My first chunkster of 2025. 692 pages. It definitely gives me Tom Clancy vibes, especially The Hunt for Red October (obviously) and Red Storm Rising. I didn't see the movie, but I might try after I finish the book.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.

Oh man, there are so many little stories involved in this book! I was wondering, once I only had 100 pages left, how the authors would tie everything up and together, but they did it! Really good story. Lots of technical terms (it's a lot of time on submarines, it's to be expected), but still easily read. Can't wait to see the movie!

Been a while since I've read an adult book, and I was getting bogged down in fantasy novels again, so it's time to switch it up!
