No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

Tom Clancy passed away last night. He was 66. No cause of death given that I saw.
I adore his earlier books. Then I missed one or 2 and had a problem in reading 1600 pages to get caught up. So I'm not familiar with his work from the last 10+ years.

That's a shame. DF loved the book where congress was "taken out."

Tom was one of DH's favorite authors. I know he's got a new book coming out just before Christmas, which is when his new books were typically released. Made it easy to figure out SOMETHING DH would like for Christmas. Mr. Clancy will be missed.  |

The Hunt for Red October was my favorite.
I wonder why he passed away? He was only 66.

Like a lot of authors, I liked his earlier works best.

I still have not seen any info as to the cause of death.
I suspect someone will take over the series as has been done w/several other MAJOR authors who passed on. It will probably be a while for the estate to be settled and such a decision to be made. Min 3 yr, mor likely at least 5 yr.

He is one of my favorite authors. I love the Ryan series. Ditto. I was really sad to hear of his passing the other day. So happy to hear I get to read one more original work, though. |

I have enjoyed many of his books. Very sad to loose him at a young old age. I always imagine that those will mega-bucks have the best healthcare, healthy cooks, excellent nutritional plans & all that so they get to stretch their life a bit. Very sad when that money can't buy you health and longevity.
