Loved Red Storm Rising, Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games...
My dad and I have been convinced that he wasn't writing his own books for years.
RIP.

I've heard this before, who do you think was writing them?Originally Posted by Gman

His co-authors, who have been getting cover credit for some time. Heck, RSR had Larry Bond listed as a co-author inside the flap. Looks like there was a seven year gap between The Teeth of the Tiger and Dead or Alive, and DOA lists Grant Blackwood as a co-author, and every subsequent book in the seris has a co-author. I'd bet all of the Op Center and Net Force books had almost no actual Clancy writing in them.

Not sure, but his writing style made a dramatic shift once he had hit the big time.
I still have the Red Storm Rising computer game with the box. I think it's on floppies. I burned many an hour on that game.
I thought Patriot Games was an awesome book with the battle of wills and emotion. The movie and the way the antagonist met his end was such a disappointment.

Rats. He was a favorite. I was introduced to his book Red Storm Rising during finals week my junior year by one of my engineering professors. There was a little dip in my grades there in 1987...

Lest we forget, his name was on the best FPS of all time: the Rainbow Six franchise. He also had a stake in the Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell series; the best third person shooter and stealth games, respectively (IMO).
His books weren't too shabby, either.
That makes two of my fav authors to kick it in recent history...
Robert Jordan and now Clancy.
Did any of you read 'Without Remorse'.. how John Clark came to be..
Yes - my favorite Clancy book.
