| 108088 | 2002-12-22 04:45:00 | yes segfault...... very handy for looking up all sorts of info. Especially over 240 hits about Tom Clancy LOL | Baldy (26) | ||
| 108089 | 2002-12-22 05:10:00 | I am also a Tom Clancy fan - I have most of his books. Tim: If you want to read some of his work, you would probably like the Net Force series. That series is all about the Internet. Another spin-off series which is aimed at the "younger" readers is the "Net Force Explorers" - it is co-author by Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik. You can probably pick these up from your local library, they make good holiday reading. |

| 108090 | 2002-12-22 07:25:00 | I started with Tom Clancy but moved on to Dale Brown and Patrick Robinson for the military thrillers. Clancy got to much into the political aspects. | wotz (335) | ||
| 108091 | 2002-12-22 07:57:00 | If you like Tom Clancy and Dale Brown then also try Eric L Harry and Larry Bond. Both are technothriller writers in a similair fashion and very enjoyable reads. | dipstick01 (445) | ||
| 108092 | 2002-12-22 10:11:00 | >I'm reading the bear and the dragon by Tom Clancy at the moment. 1028 pages. For a first Clancy book I recomend(sp?) Rainbow Six. It will help you understand the game a lot more, and it is a very good read. I'd agree. I've been reading the bear and the dragon for ages and it's pretty hard going. Rainbow 6 is a good start. |

| 108094 | 2002-12-22 21:09:00 | Being an avid tac-ops FPS gamer myself, I highly recommend "Rainbow Six". It's one of his better book (biase opinion of course). I bought my $10 copy when I was stuck at the Wellington airport several years ago. Having read that book, it certainly gives Rogue Spear a new perspective when playing the game. | nzStan (440) | ||
| 108095 | 2002-12-22 22:43:00 | Try without remorse as well, although very violent (i.e. it explains wat happens to be ppl when they get shot etc etc) but it gives you a good background in the life of John Clark (head of R6). Based in Vietnam years it wakes you up to darkish side of society. - David p.s. try Chuck Palahniuk as well, totally unrelated but his books like Fight Club still rock! |

| 108096 | 2002-12-22 22:54:00 | Rainbow Six btw was based on a plot to spread a deadly virus at the Sydney Olympics. Written several years before the Sept 11, who would have thought its not such a far fetch idea today? Also consider this, in Air Force One, Jack Ryan became the President when a hijacker crashed a jet airliner into Congress. In Executive Order (I think??? or was it Executive Command?), terrorists were going to crash a jetliner into the States with a cargo load of virus. Tom Clancy's novels are close to future events (makes you wonder if Osama read his novels?) |
