Whoever think this guy doesn't write good books is f***ing retarted. Patriot Games and Rainbow Six are two of the greatest books of all time, and if you don't think so you probably can't read. Either that or you haven't actually read his books.

Great novelist, known for his realism in his novels he does research on the topics of his books.

A bestselling author with a slew of novels known for their realism like Rainbow Six.

His only two faults are that 1) He's dead, and 2) he never told Ubisoft to stop making terrible iterations of his novels. He smiles knowing that his novels will remain legendary but occasionally rolls in his grave as E3 shows aspirations of a game based off his books that are NEVER the final product.

Dog shit novelist extraordinare. All his stories are about terrorist or communists getting their asses whomped by the "free", democratic western countries. Even though his stories are generic and boorish, they do make for mildly entertaining movies (Hunt For Red October), and pretty decent videogames (Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, etc).
Even though his stories are mostly shit. His success is quite high. His obscene crap-to-money ratio amazes us all. So Tom Clancy, for that, I salute you.
In fact. One man (Maddox) proved once and for all that anyone can make a storyline which equals anything Clancy can write. Don't believe me? Just check it out under "Five shitty movies that everybody loves" at www.thebestpageintheuniverse.com, at the bottom of the page is the "Tom Clancy Plot Generator", using this, I have created a plot just as good as anything Tom Clancy could make:..

Middling quality thriller novelist who probably does his homework on the research end of things, is full of American jingoism, and avoids including sex scenes in his books because he thinks that makes them more respectable. Has had two middling good movies made of his work, The Hunt for Red October and The Sum of All Fears.

A way too patriotic douche who is completely obsessed with secret military shit and guns with scopes.

Verb...to Clancy. Used to define a writer or media worker who credits their names to video games that they helped in no way to contribute.
Note the author or writer in question may have proposed a basic plot to the story, but still made no contribution to the programming

Tom Clancy is definitely the hottest man alive. He is known for making fucking sick sick sick video games aka Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos theory, which is a game that literally makes me shit my pants every time I play it. If you carefully analyze his video games you realize he lives vicariously through his main character Sam Fischer, who is so damn sexy they even made him his own Lego figure. Well anyways back to the subject, Tom Clancy makes Sam Fischer so good looking and suave because he himself never gets laid, and my friend if you were Sam Fischer you would get so much ass you would suffocate and die.

Tom Clancy's male organ that he has doubtlessly outfitted with infered crosshairs, and night vision goggles.
