The Hunt for Red October (novel): Difference between revisions
→The book contains examples of:.
Line 31:
* [[Death by Falling Over]]: How Ramius disposes of Putin.
* [[Defector From Decadence]]: See [[It's Personal]].
* [[Everyone Knows Morse]]: [[Justified]] to some extent: the British Signals Officer is the one who sends the message via blinker from ''HMS Invincible'' to the ''Red October''. It is described as a slow and rather jerky process since the officer is a bit rusty at it, even after having gone and given himself a refresher beforehand because they'd planned in advance to use Morse. On the other hand, Ramius knowing Morse is entirely believable, since he's from an older school of military.
* [[Expy]]: Andre Narmonov is one for Soviet premier Konstatin Chereneko; when he died 11 months after taking office, later novels would turn him into an expy of Gorbachev.
* [[Feed the Mole]]: The CIA uses {{spoiler|Henderson}} to feed the KGB false data about the operation to acquire the titular submarine of the novel.
