Bestselling author
Tom Clancy has died at the age of 66 in his birth town of Baltimore, Maryland.
Clancy wrote espionage and military thrillers including 'The Hunt for Red
October,' 'Patriot Games,' 'Clear and Present Danger' and 'The Sum of All
Fears.' Those four books were all turned into successful
blockbuster films starring actors
Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, and Ben Affleck. Another film based on his
desk-jockey CIA hero, 'Jack Ryan,' is set for release later this year, while
his next book, 'Command Authority,' is set to be published on December 3. Seventeen
of his novels ranked No. 1 on the New York Times best-sellers list, including
his most recent, 'Threat Vector,' which was released in December 2012. He first arrived on best-seller lists
in 1984 with 'The Hunt for Red October.' He sold the manuscript to the first
publisher he tried, the Naval Institute Press, which had never bought original
fiction. Clancy died Tuesday at Johns Hopkins Hospital after a 'brief illness.
