Über den Autor / die Autorin
Twenty years ago Tom Clancy was a Maryland insurance broker with a passion for naval history. Years before he had been an English major at Baltimore's Loyola College and had always dreamed of writing a novel. His first effort, The Hunt for Red October, sold briskly as a result of rave reviews, then catapulted onto the New York Times bestseller list after President Reagan pronounced it 'the perfect yarn.' Since then Clancy has established himself as an undisputed master at blending exceptional realism and authenticity, intricate plotting, and razor-sharp suspense. Grant Blackwood , a U.S. Navy veteran, spent three years aboard a guided missile frigate as operations specialist and pilot rescue swimmer. He lived in Colorado. Tom Clancy died in 2013.
Bericht
"Red Storm Rising is a true classic. The true measure of Tom Clancy's art is his ability to make both the high technology and the personal motivations of his characters not only real but alive and human. This is what makes him a new star in our national constellation of writers... In addition, the book is a first-class shoot-'em-up. (It) gives an extraordinary picture, from both sides, of what war might be like in the last decade of the twentieth century... Tom Clancy is the best there is. He is a master." (Edward L. Beach, San Francisco Chronicle)
