Rest easy. This man wrote books faster than I could read them. He left me behind somewhere around the 4th book or so. I think I have almost all of them and just don't seem to have time to read them.

I love his John Clark series. A huge bonus is that his books center around Baltimore and Washington DC. I know many of the locales he described. Really sad to hear of his death

I read several of his books when I was younger. His Jack Ryan books got me interested in reading politcal thrillers, wich really opened up a new world of litterature to me.
RIP.

Some of his books were more than a bit iffy(Patriot Games for example), but Hunt For Red October is a classic.
So long Tom,and thank you
There is no beginning,or ending,and for this we are thankful,cos now is hard enough to understand!

Sad to hear. Hunt For Red October is a classic thriller. Two other favorite Clancy novels of mine are Red Storm Rising and Without Remorse. Rest In Peace, sir.

was one of my favs, I found Red Storm Rising last year (hardcover) at a garage/yard sale. I've had/read most of his books, even the non fiction.
