The Hunt for the Red October

At the height of the "cold war"  Russia invents a ultra-stealthy missile submarine. But Ryan ( the main character) believes that the captain, Ramius, wants to defect (he wants to change where he lives and his allegiance) to the west, which means the Americans could get the submarine. This causes a lot of trouble. The Russians know what Ramius is doing, but they tell the Americans that the submarine is rogue, and could launch a nuclear strike. So who will the Americans believe? The Americans want her, and the Russians want to destroy her. In other words, its a race between Russia & America to get a very lethal & stealthy submarine which could start the next war. Who will win? 


I thought this was an extraordinary book and I couldn't stop reading 10/10
