I've plodded through Red October looking for inspiration and not found much. 1. Red October refers to the greatest revolution in history (Bolshevik), and the sub is revolutionary in design. Except it isn't, the design had been considered and rejected by the Americans and they figured it out immediately. 2. The mutiny on the sub is led by officers and most successful mutinies are, because they know how to drive the boat. 3. Both sides are rushing for dear life to do...? The Russian captain is defecting, the Americans want the boat, and both sides are working in the dark, sometimes literally. 4. Computers play a big part in finding where all the forces are. 5. The Russians either hate the Soviet government with a passion or they are resigned brainless sheep. 6. Success comes through risky creativity.
