A Momentous Passing.

For those of you who don't know a truly great writer has left this earth and he will be remembered by his works. Thomas Leo Clancy, Jr. (April 12, 1947 – October 1, 2013) was a truly great writer in the field of military fiction. His most famous writings include the historical fiction work The Hunt for Red October, which was made into an award winning movie, and his many novels that coincided with many successful video game franchises like Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, and Splinter Cell. While the majority of Tom Clancy's most recent works were based around video games this is no less an accomplishment than a successful screen writer or playwright. I personally have spent many hours perusing his Splinter Cell, Endwar, and Net Force series and would recommend them to anyone who enjoys suspenseful and action packed writing. His writing style is unique and imagery vivid as he describes the actions of his heroic army men. Tom Clancy was one of the most recognized war fiction writers of this day and his passing is a tragedy but even after he is gone his novels tell the world just how incredible of a writer he truly was.
