Here's a clue on why he died from the NY Times article even though the publisher did not list a reason why as of yet:

After “The Hunt for Red October” was published, Mr. Clancy’s fame was fairly instant.

Today...has been so sad.

For me, I lost THE author.

RIP

I found out this morning after math class...my friend came up to me and said "Hey, I checked my phone and Tom Clancy died!"

I ran to the computer lab and googled it...sure enough.... :wah: :wah:

Literally, not even a minute later, it started pouring rain and it hasn't stopped all day.

EDIT: Still, hours later, it's hard to accept this. There won't be any more Jack Ryan...no more John Clark....no more Domingo Chavez...no more Jack Junior...

:wah:

An excellent author in his prime. His later shared credit work was disappointing. Sad to see a great author die at that age though.

R.I.P Tom Clancy

Tom was a great author, he wrote books that were hard to put down and always made me want to read another few pages late into the night. His death is a loss but his stories will live on. RIP.

My favo(u)rite novel of his, was/is Red Storm Rising. I always wished, they'd make a mini-series out of that.:hmmm:

There probably will be. Remember that since 2010, Clancy's books were co-written by other people. I am sure they will continue the series as long as there is money. Who knows, they may be even better than before?

Yes, real sad!...

I saw him a long time ago in NY at a driving range!

Eternal Gratitude for Tom Clancy SSN, that is the most instructive game when it come to a simplified tactical operation of a SSN, and I am still playing it since 1996.

I guess we'll see what happens.

R.I.P.

I didn't expect him to go soon. He wasn't very old.
