108077 2002-12-21 23:33:00 Whos Tom Clancy? I see his name every where. I seen his name in games like ghost recon and splinter cell. I seen his name on tv like net force that was on tv a few weeks ago. I see his name even in books!! Who is Tom Clancy?

108079 2002-12-21 23:58:00 Tom Clancy is a very good author of war/combat/political style books. My favourites would have the be Without Remorse and Rainbow 6, both quite big but well worth the read.

Tom Clancy started Red Storm Entertainment and had games made on his book Rainbow 6 which has gone onto become a very successful series. He also happens to be the richest author in the world i think.

I strongly reccomend his books even if they are quite grusome they open up your mind (especially for me Without Remorse)

108080 2002-12-21 23:58:00 Clancy is one of the big authors of these days, like John Grisham or Wilbur Smith.

You might have also seen Tom Clancy's name on The Sum Of All Fears - turned into a movie this year, it was a book written by him.

He has many good books, and some of them even have plots such as WWIII beginning, a renegade plane flying into a Washington D.C. building and killing most of the senate, stuff like that.

108084 2002-12-22 01:31:00 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.

108085 2002-12-22 01:50:00 The day I saw those 2 planes fly into the WTC, I thourght, someone saw this coming. If you read the whole series of his books from the first (11 of them from Hunt for the Red October to The Bear And the Dragon), they're all strung together in one way or another and tell how hero Jack Ryan made it to be president. He has a very clear view of the impact of the terrist threat and his books (esp Executive Orders) foretold how an attack could be launched on the US.
