Tom Clancy.
Best-selling US author Tom Clancy has died at the age of 66, his publisher Penguin has confirmed. Clancy wrote a string of best-selling spy and military thrillers. His 17th novel, Command Authority, is due out in December. Several of his books featuring CIA analyst Jack Ryan have been adapted into successful Hollywood films. Although most of his writing involved fictionalized accounts of the aftermath of the Cold War, Clancy has also penned a slew of nonfiction titles, including his "Guided Tours" inside nuclear warships and Air Force combat wings. In addition to his literary ventures, Clancy co-founded Red Storm Entertainment, a video game developer that created games mostly based on the plots of his books, such as "Rainbow Six." He would be greatly missed.
