Tom Clancy's Books

Is there anyone else here who loves reading Tom Clancy's books, over and over again? I find that they are so full of detail and action, a perfect amount of suspense and excitement.

I have a first run copy of " The hunt for Red October " This was before Tom Clancy wrote the screenplay for the movie. "Red Storm Rising " was great as well. I have all of them . If you enjoy " techno thrillers " like that of Tom Clancy, check out Stephen Coonts.

Stephen was a A-6 Intruder attack / strike aircraft pilot and is the real deal. Stephen Coontz wrote the book, Flight of the Intruder . A movie was made of it as well. The film stars Brad Johnson, Danny Glover and Willem Dafoe . Check it out

There is also Clive Cussler. I liked the book he wrote " raise the Titanic "

Red Storm Rising is one of my favorites, even after reading it 3-4 times.

Red Storm Rising is always available on my Kindle. If I have a few minutes to kill, like waiting for an appointment, I am more than happy to spend some time with the classic moments of that book, like Dance of the Vampires or Time on Target.

Red Storm rising is a classic. Tom Clancy was one of a kind. I'm not surprised you or Mr. Abberton would like it.

Then again, with a name like Capt. Ramius, it's not hard to believe you would like Tom Clancy or The Hunt for Red October book / movies.

I think most here enjoyed the Tom Clancy series.

Check out the other authors I mentioned though if you get a chance.

I've read the entire run of books (His, not the impostors') More times than I care to admit. I enjoyed a lot of his nonfiction too.
