One of my favorite authors, and certainly my favorite of today's fiction writers. Red Storm Rising has to be my favorite of his works, followed by Clear and Present Danger, and then Without Remorse. According to what I just read online, he has one more novel slated for release at the beginning of December. I will miss his work.

The Hunt For Red October is my favorite, and it was a pretty good movie too.

As I recall, writing was his second career. Although he has passed away, I am sure that he was very happy doing what he loved.

I was a huge Tom Clancy fan back in my youth when he was in his heyday of novels....Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger, etc.  I sort of fell out some time around Red Rabbit (mostly because by then I pretty much switched over to strictly non-fiction books.)  Might have to get caught back up though.  

Favorite Clancy books of the ones I have read?  Probably Without Remorse....man what a good book, and I remember Clancy in an interview saying it was, at the time, one of his favorites because of the fun he got to have with John Clark's past.  But I also really loved Rainbow Six.

Great author, great books.  He will be missed.

I've read about a half a dozen of his novels and greatly enjoyed them. Thanks guys for the tips I'm going to have to pick up the others you've recommended.

RIP Mr Clancy
