RIP Tom Clancy!
But I doubt even something like death will be able to stop him from writing! I can wait to read his first post mortem novel....Dead Storm Rising. It will put the walking dead and world war Z to shame!

Wouldn't surprise me. He had ghost writers for most of his later work.

I'm probably going to be in the minority here but, I have to say Baldwin. He fits the analyst bill better than Ford IMHO.

Clancy definitely knew a lot of "inside" stuff in his early years. I haven't read a Clancy book in a long time tho.

Rainbow Six was one of my all time favorite books when I was a teenager. I eat that special forces shit up. Clancy was a master.
