SSN is a techno-thriller novel, created by Tom Clancy and Martin H. Greenberg and published on December 1, 1996, as a tie-in to the video game of the same name. It follows the missions of USS Cheyenne, a United States Navy nuclear attack submarine, during a fictional war between the United States and China over the Spratly Islands. SSN is the second Clancy novel after Red Storm Rising (1986) that is not set in the Ryanverse.
The book also features the transcript of a discussion of the game with Clancy and former Royal Navy submarine commander Doug Littlejohns, which was held in Greek Island, a former government-owned fallout shelter located in West Virginia. The interview was originally released along with the CD-ROM of the game.[1][2]
