Lots of fans will be upset by this. R.I.P.

Bummer. I enjoyed the heck out of his books.

 

[Spartan Rex]

Yeah, he just married some young thing after a bitter divorce.
Must have been too much for him.
I remember staying up all night to read Patriot Games, that was a fantastic read.
The movie not so much.

R.I.P , he was pretty much a household name nowadays with his books , movies and video game status.

Yup. RIP Mr. Clancy....to this day I still enjoy reading his books for the 2nd and 3rd time.

Big loss to the book community, not too many guys around from that generation still writing books.

I didn't know he was still alive...or maybe I have him confused with Michael Crichton.

66 isn't even that old. That's pretty young by today's standards.

Yeah it isn't, that's the saddest part about it. Isn't like the best recommendations for food and health were in that era either.

Big loss. I've read tons of his books. Rest in peace good sir

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Sad to hear. I mean I can honestly say I never read any of his books, but being a gamer I appreciate them because I know because of those books we got Splinter Cell and Rainbow Six.

 

[Spartan Rex]

It's all in the genes.
Some folk live like the devil and smoke like a chimney and live decades longer.

 

[Shaun & Ed Fan]

Sad news to hear. I was a huge fan of all his Jack Ryan stories.
I donated all of my Clancy books to my local library a few months back.I hope they bring joy to new fans!

 

[choopie]

Sad to hear. RIP

I can't tell you how many times I read The Hunt for Red October.

Indeed.

Thanks to Tom for all the awesome books.
May he now rest in peace.

RIP

Sad to hear this.

"The Hunt for Red October" is one of my all-time favorite movies.

 

[WolfPredatorAVPR]

Sad news indeed. Can not say I am a fan of any of his work ( maybe I should be reading all the comments ) but I know he was a much celebrated author.

Yes it is. So sad. Such a talented guy.
