The Jack Ryan Series - Book 1
The Hunt for Red October
“Listening to narrator Scott Brick is such a pleasure, and this spy thriller from the 1990s is no exception. Brick portrays brilliant CIA analyst Jack Ryan in the manner of a world-weary veteran. His laconic, partly humorous, and vaguely disillusioned tone captures the essence of Ryan. While the Cold War is over, Clancy’s suspenseful story and well-crafted characters are relevant even today, especially the character of a younger Putin. Brick’s Russian accent adds to the story’s atmosphere, and he handles the convoluted plot well, subtly slowing his pace to allow listeners to digest the material. This pairing of outstanding plot and spellbinding performance promises listeners an entertaining experience.”
