We Will Miss You, Tom Clancy

Fox News is reporting today that author Tom Clancy has died. Tom Clancy wrote “The Hunt for Red October” and “Patriot Games.” “The Hunt for Read October” was a groundbreaking book for its time–there were some real questions as to how Tom Clancy managed to collect so much information regarding the United States submarine identification program that was developed during the 1960’s.

The article reports:

Many of Clancy’s works were turned into blockbuster movies starring the likes of Harrison Ford and Ben Affleck. The latest, based on his desk-jockey CIA hero Jack Ryan, is set for release later this year. Directed by Kenneth Branagh and starring Chris Pine, “Jack Ryan: Shadow One” is set for release in the U.S. on Christmas Day. 

In addition to motion pictures, Clancy even ventured into video games with the best-selling “Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier,” “Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction” and “Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Double Agent.”

Tom Clancy will be missed.
