Don't Miss the Original Series Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan Starring John Krasinski!

The #1 New York Times bestseller that launched the phenomenal career of Tom Clancy—a gripping military thriller that introduced the world to his unforgettable hero, Jack Ryan—nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read.

Somewhere under the freezing Atlantic, a Soviet sub commander has just made a fateful decision. The Red October is heading west. The Americans want her. The Russians want her back. The chase for the highly advanced nuclear submarine is on—and there’s only one man who can find her...

Brilliant CIA analyst Jack Ryan has little interest in fieldwork, but when covert photographs of Red October land on his desk, Ryan soon finds himself in the middle of a high-stakes game of hide-and-seek played by two world powers—a game that could end in all-out war.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Such an amazing book deserves an amazing narrator, and Scott Brick is such a narrator.

A production note: I don't know what happens at 51:51, but it sounds like Brick does an extra take that isn't removed. Small detail, but it was noticeable. Great story and narration though!

Scott Brick!

Very enjoyable book. Full of intrigue and tension. I was worried having seen the movie many times would take away from my enjoyment but it had no effect.

Full of tension!

Clancy’s second-best book. Like all of his novels there are parts that are more enjoyable if you have an advanced degree in engineering and you are sitting next to a five-star general, but this is a great story, expertly written and perfectly delivered.

Classic Clancy
