Didn't see this coming. I am a big fan of his books and games of course. Wonder if the December book will still come out. Everyone is watching George RR Martin but not Tom

RIP

Having said that, Clancy was basically Robert Ludlum with more American pride and poorer vocabulary. I remember reading The Bear and the Dragon (2000) and liking it. However, I recently read Dead or Alive (2010) which was just terribly written.
