I need to read more of his works. I've read a couple of books by him and they were great.

Sad news man! His books were later turned into bad ass movies. Hunt for Red October is one of my favorite movies.

Same here. I've had that movie so long that my copy is VHS. It surprised me that the cassette was red instead of the usual black.
RIP
66 is young.

I wonder if he saw an early draft of the movie.

New Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit Poster Lands
Kenneth Branagh's actioner gets a promo
As if to respectfully mark the death of his creator, Jack Ryan's pensive face adorns a new poster for Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit. Tom Clancy may have passed away but his famous CIA analyst, a former naval office who's battled drug barons, rogue Republicans and Sean Connery's Lithuanian accent in his many screen incarnations, lives on in a reboot that hands the Langley security pass to Chris Pine.
As the artwork shows and the casting of Captain Kirk has suggested for some time, this Jack Ryan isn't a desk-bound wonk in the Alec Baldwin mould, but a ready-formed action hero. Kenneth Branagh's reboot is an origin story that returns him to his espionage beginnings - in this film, he's an injured Marine who gets the shoulder tap from CIA vet Kevin Costner to work as a high-level analyst.
The pair tackle a Russian oligarch (played by director Branagh, who also directs), who combines international terrorism with shenanigans on the finance markets in a highly dubious way that in the old days, would have guaranteed him an invite to the SPECTRE Christmas party. Keira Knightley is also along for the ride.
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit is out in UK cinemas on December 26.

Without Remorse is all time, favorite book. He was a great writer.
Read all of the Jack Ryan series, some excellent writing especially if you like detailed military/spy thrillers. He was always on the fringe and was frequently questioned for the information he put in his books but never backed down. Sad to see him go and it's about damn time they make some Jack Ryan movies that are good. Harrison Ford did well enough but The Sum of All Fears, arguably my favorite book, was just disgusting. Fuck you Ben Affleck for ruining that one.

have to agree with you on this one...other than the title and that there was a nuc involved, there really wasn't much of a resemblance of the book.
Also, William Dafoe; great actor...not a good John Clark.
Rainbow Six would make a great movie if they could pull it off.
