R.I.P. Tom Clancy

[Bill]

I just read that Tom Clancy passed away, age 66, in Baltimore. http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/...
No age at all.

He wrote one of my favorite characters - Jack Ryan.

[Bill]

That is sad. I have really enjoyed his books.

[Kim]

I haven't read many of the books--just one, "Red Storm Rising"--but I really enjoyed the movies, especially "The Hunt for Red October". RIP Tom Clancy.

[David]

Red Storm Rising is one of my all-time favorite books. I re-read it a few months ago (for the 5th or 6th time) and it was as fresh and engaging this time as it was the first.

[Linda]

I never read any of this books, but the movie Clear and Present Danger is one of my favorite movies.....

[Robert]

Clark was my favorite of his character, and Patriot Games probably my favorite of his novels. The Hunt for Red October is right there with it.

[Nancy]

Clancy has been one of my favorite authors from the beginning of his writing career. I think I own all of his books - will need to pre-order the one due out in Dec. He will be missed by me and many others who love his fact-action stories.

[Harriet]

So sad. Hunt for Red October was and is a favorite.

When a reviewer described my first book as "Tom Clancy with sexy romance" and he sent me a Tweet, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Not just a great writer, but a nice (although he'd deny it) guy!

[Bill]

That is indeed nice, Harriet. Hunt for Red October is a favourite of mine as well..

I loved his books. I can't believe he is gone.
