This is tragic! He wrote books very well, and got the technical details right. At least he left a large legacy with all those books.
R.I.P.

That's a shame. Always see his books on the top 10 list. RIP.

Such a shame, whilst I haven't been a fan of his more recent works, I did thoroughly enjoy Red Storm Rising, HFRO, The Bear and the Dragon and the Cardinal of the Kremlin.
RIP Mr Clancy, and thank you. |

RIP.Cause? Hate when they do not disclose the cause. Clancy was only 66. Think I will watch The Hunt for Red October in his honor this evening, start reading the book again soon.

RIP Tom Clancy should be sung to the tune of Tom Dooley.
Yes, yes of course RIP, but I have often wondered what it means. After much forethought I have decided that I do not want to be cremated, for then I would just be thin air, ashes to ashes so to speak. I have decided that I want to be buried on a hill, all by myself, over looking the swimming pool of a nudist park  with those little twirly things that look like ducks taking off all around my grave.Why? To keep the birds away of course.

RIP
First book I got was Red Storm Rising. Great book!  I became a fan, and later in time I got the "Ryanverse" books. Missing the ones which came after "Executive Orders" though. |

Sad news
 R.I.P, you were my entry door for starting my interest in modern navies and their technology. I do not share all his political views after ending of the cold war but his books, written in the 80's, are simply the best techno thrillers and RedStormRising is my favorite book until today.
