Loved his earlier, "classic" stuff. The last Clancy I read was "Teeth of the Tiger," and it was awful.

He had become a "brand name," and much like James Michener and James Patterson, I think he wound up sketching broad plot outlines and let co-authors write the books, then he would slap his name at the top and reap the money.

Hunt for Red October still my favorite...Think you are correct with your final analysis.

I developed a James Patterson "co-author" book into a feature. Total nightmare.

Pretty much this......his early stuff was classic though.

So who's the best Jack Ryan?


Alec Baldwin
Harrison Ford
Ben Affleck
Chris Pine

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.

As much as I love Harrison Ford, Baldwin nailed the roll, and had perfect chemistry with Connery.

Red October is my favorite film, and my favorite book of his as well.

Off the top of my head, I'd have to pick 'Cardinal of the Kremlin' as my favorite novel of his.

I'd go with Baldwin as well. Red October was the best movie. Although I really liked Clear and Present Danger. The one with Affleck sucked. The first one with Ford sucked.

Never saw the Pine one.
