I liked Without Remorse. Is Brad Thor a like Clancy?

Sort of... Lions was a great book about an Ex-SEAL who works for the USSS and the president is kidnapped and he must race to find out who did it and rescue the president. Brad was in the news a few years ago for his book "The Last Patriot" and some controversy about the plot (Mohammad's assassination by his followers- discovered by Jefferson and the main character uncovers Jefferson's discovery).
From Wikipedia:

Because of the content of Thor's thriller The Last Patriot, Glenn Beck predicted he might be assassinated by Muslim extremists. Thor has been referred to by WorldNetDaily as "the new Salman Rushdie."
The novel is said to have been banned in Saudi Arabia.

I really want to read the rest of his books!

Also, W.E.B. Griffin is awesome! I read some of his presidential agent books and they're really good.

Agreed, the Brotherhood of War series was excellent, and entertaining to the max!

Would it be redundant to mention Band of Borthers? As is the case 99.999% of the time- even with how good the HBO production was- the book was 1000X better.
