      WOW, Link?, I guess one shouldn't be too hard to find.

      At least since most of his books are ghost written these days anyway, we'll still get more adventures of JR.

      x-post, thanks plato

            The only thing worse than this is if they made Ben Affleck play the role of Jack Ryan.

            err... oops

              Glad I wasn't the only one that thought that was one of the worst castings ever.

                  I guess he finally decided to join Ghost Recon.

                    I really like his books. Well, like four of his books. They sorta go off the rails after Cardinal of the Kremlin.

                      Red Storm Rising was awesome.

                          These are the good Tom Clancy books, in order of how much I enjoyed them: The Hunt for Red October, Red Storm Rising, Cardinal of the Kremlin, Patriot Games.

                          The only good movie was The Hunt for Red October.

                            I largely agree with the above but I would add Without Remorse and Clear and Present Danger to the list.

                              His older books certainly is superior, but I liked the newer books too. Also the Jack Jr. books. The internet police books were bad though.
