Sad news indeed. I have read his original novels twice and am now reading them for the third time. Those he wrote with a co-author - I don't read.

I expect most people would know that Tom Clancy was a writer, but not all.

He wrote a lot of spy vs. spy type novels that were made into movies like The Hunt for Red October and books like that.

I'm sure a lot of people will mourn the loss of a truly gifted writer like Tom was.

Mark Greaney was co-author on one written in 2012.
He's got Jack Ryan, his son, and other characters from previous books.
Very good reads even if topic and background change very little.
My son had been buying these books for me on Christmas.
I suspect there are more in the pipe-line.

The Jack Ryan character was killed off in a divorce. She owned half
of the books so he didn't write any more.

That publishing fad is something that ****es me off. Clive Cussler is another
favorite author that fell for that crap. Use the famous author's name in monster
font and then put the ghost author name in small font.

They all do it. These after death books are OK unless they push it too
far, just relying on the characters the original author had built up.

One I liked, can't think of name offhand as it was years ago, in his
dotage retired to Florida and books just became silly. Some people
should quit while ahead.

An alcoholic PUKE. One less capitalist bag of ****. I knew him back in my drinking days by the docks at the Houston ship channel.
Belch fart hiccup.

I do not miss the alcoholic bag of ****. When I knew him I lived in a junk yard by the ship channel trying to recover from a broken back during an abduction by the CIA. Spies lies and fairy tales. I got the scars from Kingsville to prove it. Plus the inquisition device from 5 US presidents.

It is not my fault the secret service is ****ed because they stuck the goddamned device in my back.

No doubt a bunch of alcoholic paranoid US military drivel.
