Tom Clancy

[YYZ66]

One of my favorite authors has died.

I believe he was a Baltimore native.

RIP Mr. Clancy

Yeah he was a ravens fan too , fellow flock member made alot of film  fans gamers and readers sad to hear about this but  his last few works are still not finished I wonder if Ubi Soft will continue with them

I was saddened by this too. I only read a military non fiction by him and I listened to Rainbow Six on CD (loved it), but I also played a lot of the games with his name on them. RIP, sir.

I've only read The Hunt For Red October, his work wasn't really my cup of tea, but it was a good book and he was obviously a highly influential author.

He was one of my all time favorite authors and a local institution. He will be sorely missed.

Man that sucks, awesome author of military related novels. Wonder how much money he was getting from Ubisoft.

The first book of his I ever read was Without Remorse, which is set in Baltimore.

It tells the story of how John Clark ended up with the CIA.

Read at least a dozen of his books since then.

He donated a huge amount of money to local charities, especially for childhood illnesses. He did pretty well for a guy who started out as an insurance salesman.

That sucks for any fans of his games too.

That sucks for any fans of his games too.

They're still probably going to make Tom Clancy games.

When they blew up M&T bank stadium in Sum of all Fears I was afraid to go to game because I did not want to orphan my kids, in the book the blew up Mile High stadium. One of my favorite authors .
