FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING, with all required first state points on both the book and jacket: the copyright page contains exactly 18 lines of text with no edition statement or number line; the dust jacket is unpriced; and the Clive Cussler blurb appears as the third review down on the rear jacket panel. TOM CLANCY'S SIGNATURE on a card laid in. The Hunt for Red October is the legendary debut novel that launched Tom Clancy's career and introduced the iconic literary character Jack Ryan. Famously published by the niche Naval Institute Press-which had never before printed original fiction-the book became an international phenomenon after receiving high praise from President Ronald Reagan. It effectively created the modern techno-thriller genre and stands as one of the most influential espionage novels of the Cold War era.
