http://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/us/bestselling-us-author-tom-clancy-dies-at-66-1.1547697 Author of Patriot Games, The Hunt for Red October and Clear and Present Danger died in Baltimore aged 66.
I've never read any of his books, but I've enjoyed a couple of the movies based on them. R.I.P., Mr. Clancy, and thanks for your work.
I posted this in the Not Happy Thread, but I'll say it again here. I really enjoyed some of the video games made by the company he founded. I can't say I was a big fan of his writing, but he had a ton of loyal readers so there's that. RIP.
