Tom Clancy has passed away at the age of 66

Tom Clancy has passed away at the age of 66

The NY Times is reporting that best-selling novelist Tom Clancy has died at age 66. Tom Clancy, whose complex, adrenaline-fueled military novels spawned a new genre of thrillers and made him one of the world's best-selling and best-known authors, died on Tuesday in a hospital in Baltimore. He was 66.

Ivan Held, the president of G. P. Putnam's Sons, his publisher, did not provide a cause of death.

Mr. Clancy's books were successfully transformed into blockbuster Hollywood films, including "Patriot Games," "The Hunt for Red October" and "Clear and Present Danger."

His next book, "Command Authority," is planned for publication on Dec. 3.

Seventeen of his novels were No. 1 New York Times best sellers, including his most recent, “Threat Vector,” which was released in December 2012. More than 100 million copies of his books are in print.

He's been my favorite author for years! =[

Wonder how many people actually read his books before Rainbow Six..That's not even near being one of his good ones!

I personally am one of the few that enjoyed Red Storm Rising.

That, and I don't think Rainbow Six was even near his best works. In fact, that is around the period where I think he started losing his talent (perhaps by virtue of being out of the field for so long?). His finest books in my opinion are "Without Remorse" and "The Cardinal of the Kremlin".

RIP, my favourite. I started from The Hunt for Red October and read every book I got into my hands.
