A farewell to a good man

Yesterday, October 1st, author Tom Clancy died, at the age of 66, in a Baltimore hospital.

This man wrote many military thrillers, such as Patriot Games, The Hunt for Red October, which later spawned movies and even games, like the Rainbow Six series. He was also someone for whom I based my writing off of. No, I don't match his style directly, but he was the framework for which I latched onto. He meant a lot to me, and many, many others. That's all that counts.

So, here's to you sir. I hope you find yourself somewhere nice. You deserve it.

MCPO Lewis, signing off.

Thank you for all the great stories Tom and for being a big inspiration to me as a writer. We will miss you greatly.

   

He will be missed. He wrote some great stuff.

One of my most favorite authors. I will certainly miss his writing.

Loved red storm rising it was one of my favorites he will be missed.

I liked a great many of his books, but my favorite was 'Without Remorse'. No gee-whiz tech, very little military jargon, just solid storytelling and riveting characterization.
