Well said.

Was never a big fan of Clancy's books*, but it's sad to see such a literary titan pass.

*personal preference only, not a judgment of quality.

66 is too soon. Any word on how he died? Not a lot of details in the press yet.

Holy crap, I hadn't even heard he was ill. The guy was one of my favorite authors, and his books centering on Clark and Chavez are some of my favorite books I've ever read.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo.

I haven't had the time to catch up on more recent work past Teeth of the Tiger, but I have a lot of his single-author works prior to that. Cardinal of the Kremlin is a favorite, as is Red Storm Rising. I really need to reread Debt of Honor and Without Remorse, too...

A Cardinal of the Kremlin movie would be a fitting tribute.

Just saying.
