Tom Clancy - Author extroardinaire .
I have read the other posts concerning the passing of this man .He was without a doubt the kind of author who did what authors are Supposed to do .Give us a story , based on real events maybe .But fill it with characters we can equate to .Especially when you can think of a parallel in folks you know .
Tom , you have given this old vet many an enjoyable hour reading of Jack Ryan and others you filled your books with .You and Patrick O'Brian are to me , two of the greatest authors of this century where fiction is concerned .You , Sir will be missed . Go in peace . Tanker - Builder
