Tom Clancy Dies Aged 66

Sad news has been announced that author Tom Clancy has died aged just 66 in a hospital in Baltimore.

Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Tom Clancy studied literature at the Loyola College in Baltimore and was originally an insurance salesman before becoming famous for writing technically detailed espionage and military science books.
He is responsible for best-selling books such as "The Hunt for Red October," "Patriot Games," "Clear and Present Danger," and "The Sum of All Fears" — all of which were adapted into major Hollywood films.
In 1996, Clancy co-founded the video game developer Red Storm Entertainment and has had his name on several of Red Storm's most successful games.

-Tom Clancy R.I.P.

I have read all his fiction works and have enjoyed his detail and realistic scenarios.

He will be missed....

Goodbye Mr. Clancy

He was my favourite author, a master at character introduction and his attention to detail was immense.
My personal favourite novels are Without Remorse, Red Storm Rising, and The Bear and the Dragon. I cannot recommend them enough.

Mr Clancy, you will be sadly missed.

Respect.

Probably a heart attack or stroke. He smoked like a fiend.

He wrote some pretty good books in is time, my foundest memory of him was right agter 9/11 he was behing interviewed by cnn, the reporter was asking him some dumb questions, and he just gave it to the reporter.

Rest in peace
