Brief Summary- The USS Dallas has alerted the Red October of her presence during a Crazy Ivan. Ramius believes that the submarine has accidentally stumbled upon the in the last two hours, and now Ryan and the USS Invincible have caught up with the Red October. The Invincible begins sending a message to Ramius using a flash light and Morse code; this will assure that only the captain, using the periscope. "RED OCTOBER CAN YOU READ THIS PLEASE PING US ONCE ON ACTIVE SONAR", Ramius orders Borodin to check range to the USS Dallas with a single ping. The USS Invincible goes on to tell Ramius that the whole Russian fleet is after him and that they plan to sink him, they go on to say that he should proceed to 33N 75W to rendezvous with United States ships.
The USS Ethan Allan is currently at 33N 75W, waiting for their part of the plan to begin.
The Red October has gone in to a state of alert; the reactor situation has, according to Ramius's announcement to the crew, become very serious.
Journal- Ramius is defiantly planning to fake reactor problems to get the crew off the submarine at 33N 75W, where the USS Ethan Allan is waiting to begin its last assignment, which I believe is to explode in the place of the Red October after the crew has been evacuated.
would you recommend this book to anyone?
ReplyDeleteWow...you wrote this 8 YEARS ago. Such a long time has passed I wonder if you will even reply to me.
DeleteI would recommend it. Occasionally it gets a little slow, but its really interesting. I've read many books about family members dying, the Holocaust or the future, but I've never read a book about submarines, so its a nice change. So, yes, I would defiantly recommend it, especially if you've seen the movie. Even if you don't read it, the movie is defiantly worth seeing.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good book but it gets very slow.
