Do you consider the Horde to be "the bad guys" or is it more complex?

I doubt that. It'll probably have little to no effect on the amount of work published under his name.

That's a shame. I rather enjoyed his novels. And at such a (relatively) young age, too

I never read any of his books, but he inspired some pretty decent movies.

/Salute/ to a true workman author. He was never what I'd call a "great" writer, but he was consistently "good" and certainly consistent and constant in his work.

I remember reading Red Storm Rising when it still was a possibility. He was a great author and shall be missed.

The Jack Ryan novels don't have the "Tom Clancy's" tagline, so I believe they're among the ones actually written by him. Originally Posted by runeghost

That's a shame. His books stopped being good years ago though. Of course they stopped being "his books" years ago, too.

He wasn't even that old, 66 is a relatively young age nowadays to die.
I'm personally hoping to snuff it at around 70/80 dependent on health conditions, but i liked his work quite a lot.

CIA got him cause he was disclosing classified info and government secrets in his books.
