RIP Tom Clancy
 

Have not read a lot of fiction lately, but enjoyed his books several years ago.

Intelligent fiction.
Gave me great enjoyment also.

RIP

Wow. RIP

Saaaaaaay what!?

Man he is a legend.

Damn!! My favorite author, and always a good read. Just finished two of his books...and pre-ordered his new release (December) from Amazon yesterday.
RIP, Mr. Clancy

One of my faves as well. RIP Mr Clancy.

Wow...great author, always loved reading his books. RIP.

Tom Clancy saved my sanity on a very long trip back from Wakayama, Japan to AZ. Before starting the haul to Osaka, I stopped at a bookstore in Wakayama--and the only English-language book they had was Rainbow Six.

RIP

Tom Clancy was the author that sparked with my reading. Without those books I would have barely a smidgen of the knowledge that I have to this day.

I started with Rainbow Six and then moved thru all the other books in the series. They are still to this day fantastic reads. I actually have a Clancy novel sitting on my nightstand right now. New series about Jack Ryan Jr.

I'll miss his books.

Damn. He was a fantastic writer. I haven't read any of his new stuff, but I loved the original Jack Ryan books like Clear and Present Danger, Patriot Games, etc. I read my first Tom Clancy book when I was in the 4th grade, I bought The Hunt for Red October in Orlando and had it done before the plane touched down in Kansas City. I had just gotten done riding on the USS Topeka, a Los Angeles class attack sub, so there was definitely a theme going. I got in trouble when I got home, my parents didn't think it was appropriate for a kid and they were probably right. Good thing grandpa took me.....

I've enjoyed a number of his books. RIP

red october and the sum of all fears are some of the best thrillers ever written.

Like a number of you, I really enjoyed his techno-thrillers (about the only fiction I bother reading). Gone too soon. RIP Tom
