For all them Tom Clancy lovers, haters, obsessors...

[color=sienna][i][size=2]Ever since I was a kid, Clancy has been my favorite author. Ask a grade five who spends twelve months getting through one of his books what they like about Tom Clancy and they would say blood guts and stuffz....

Which is simply put, the basis of my growing obsession for this guy. As the years went by reading Clancy work after Clancy work... I realized that he has way more talent than he is given credit for.

1. He can write romantically. I swear, give him a chance. Choose a better setting though.

In Red Storm Rising, one of his main characters fall in love with an Icelandic girl, the situation was odd, family dead at the hands of the Red army and her being raped. The 'american' comes to the rescue... or in

Without Remorse. Lets not get into the details there, lets just say it was involving hurt pain and prostitution.

His true romance side comes out with his descriptive nature. I swear the sob has a thesaurus(sp?) slung under his arm twenty four seven. His natural descriptiveness would set him up for a multi million dollar romance novelist position. :twitch:

2. His plot strategy is quite well planned and when you seriously need to read every page in a suspensfull, gripping embrace with descriptive fortitude...well lets say you learn a lot and at the same time enjoy the novel.

Enough of the whole 'he owns' garble... WHAT DO ALL YOU!!! think of this Clancy character?? ...Fav books? movies? games? (I love ghost recon... *kisses the box* ....mmm recon...real...mmm..) ok...hehe.. um....tell me how you think... i wana get some input from other Clancy lovers, haters as well.. i need some odius people to keep this thread active :)[/color][/size][/i]

[COLOR=blue]Right now I'm reading a book from Tom Clancy's Net Force series. It's a bit odd with the virtual worlds and stuff, but it's an interesting book so far. I don't usually read any of his other series'.

I have played Rainbow Six for N64, and I own Rogue Spear for the PC. It's a great game, totally realistic. I'm not exactly a Clancy lover, but I like his work.[/color]
