All the other books clearly are written with (movie/video game) in the back of his mind, but that one was just straight prose.
His next four books were written before The Hunt for Red October came out in film form.

Maybe so, but HFRO was optioned for feature film production within two months of its publication, and planning began near immediately, so film adaptation would have been pretty heavy on Clancy’s mind at the time.
Consider applying for YC's Spring batch! Applications are open till Feb 11.
