dczieta: He brought us the splinter cell character(sam fisher) why do beta people like this die while bastards like assad,obj.atiku,mugabe,and all those north korean leaders live?I think they live just so that folks like the dear departed Tom Clancy can have materials to write about |

His books always leave me wanting for more... His detailed story-telling makes you wonder if it was really fiction. RIP Tom. |

"Debt of Honour" by Tom Clancy. On September 11th and 12th 2001 I kept wondering if we were experiencing another "War of The Worlds" moment. This was Debt of Honour come to life! Tom Clancy and Jackie Collins. I can never thank them enough. |

koolet: Tom clancys ghost recon. mission imposible.... He died but his work liveth.....I guess his ghost is on a reconnaissance of this thread as we speak. Ghost Mode tins! With respect to the topic, the news of his death came to me as a shock naturally. Unfortunately, this was somewhat dampened to an extent. While in sch, Clancy was my favourite favouritest author! I used to dump my materials to read any new Clancy novel I laid hands on. And this was during exam periods. But as I grew older and my interests widened to include other genres and authors, I somewhat came to the conclusion that Clancy was extremely biased in his writings and ultra-right wing American in his views which also influenced his works. Also, the books tended to delve excessively into too much technical details and plots that would eventually leave most readers "overwhelmed", cause them to lose interest towards the middle of the book, then jump to the concluding chapters in order to get done with the book - compare this with Grisham's narration of courtroom sessions (The Runaway Jury), how he describes spending money to sound like comic fun (The Firm, King of Torts), etc - then you might get a picture of what I am trying to say about Clancy. I don't know if it was his collaboration with Steve Pieczenik et al and the other ghost writers that led to this. I stopped reading Clancy around 2007. Grisham, Dan Brown and Stephen King stole me heart ever since. My personal views though. This does not diminish the fact that the world has suddenly lost of of her best and most prolific of modern day authors. He will be greatly missed, but I forsee several best-sellers that will still be published in due course under his name. Tom Clancy was a great author. |

Am surprised to hear Tom Clancy is dead. He was a great writer. I've watch the movie adaptation of some of his book. His style of writing is different. He focuses so much in the technicalities and plot. Good writer |
Re: Tom Clancy Dies At 66 by Strongfaze(m): 10:07pm On Oct 02, 2013 |
R.I.P Tom clancy. No one has mentioned my favourite novel of his, titled (ACTS OF WAR). It gives you the grip on the fragile middle east. |

Re: Tom Clancy Dies At 66 by vivaciousvivi(f): 10:39pm On Oct 02, 2013 |
Omg! He is dead??! But 66 isn't quite old at all and don't writers live a pretty sedentry life? RIP Mr. Clancy. And to think I finally bought the "Hunt for Red October" after searching for it or so long. 1 Like |
