Oh no ...
RIP, Tom Clancy. |
I read a few of his novels whilst on my "hiatus from society", one of them twice. But, as always, the books are always better than the movie.
|
For the past 10? years, Clancy has used other writers to make his money. Yes he created the outlines, but it was HIS name at the top of the page. Yes a fabulous storyteller also great film adaptions.

That is some crazy synchronicity. I just pulled out Red Storm Rising a couple of nights ago to re-read. I'm up to the Iceland thing.

This thread reminds me that I should look up Tom Clancy on amazon and order a few of his titles for my father, who loves political thrillers. I'm immigrating my Dad at the beginning of November, but for this month he's stressed with getting ready and could use some brain candy.

I've read several of his books, always a good read.
LOVED 'The Hunt For Red October'. RIP Mr. Clancy. |
What did he die of?
|
That's the question. I'm not seeing it reported in all the two articles I skimmed.

FWIW, it's been my experience that "after a brief illness" usually refers to cancer.
Fuck cancer. |
66 yr old male...Ima guess prostate/colon cancer.

He looked like he was in his 60's when I started reading his stuff 20 years ago. He never looked very healthy.
