At center is WILLIAM FITCHNER (born 1956), who portrays Sergeant James Smith -- he signs a heavy stock 5" X 3" card in black fineline and notes "Valentine's Day" (14 February 1993) at upper right. At bottom is ALAN RUCK (born 1956), who portrays Commander Daniel X. McCafferty -- he signs a heavy stock 5" X 3" card in black fineline and dates it 1 May 1987 at upper right. A sharp first with a superb trio of the film version cast member signatures -- plus the original transmittal envelopes from all three are laid in.
Synopsis
Red Storm Rising is a 1986 techno-thriller novel by Tom Clancy and Larry Bond about a Third World War in Europe between NATO and Warsaw Pact forces, set around the mid-1980s. Though there are other novels dealing with a fictional World War III, this one is notable for the way in which numerous settings for the action — from Atlantic convoy duty to shooting down reconnaissance satellites to tank battles in Germany — all have an integral part to play on the outcome.
