Tom Clancy dies, aged 66
 

just breaking now on BBC. Bit shocked by this :/ not read any of his stuff but he's a huge author, whose works have gone on to build massive video games franchises (Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell etc.) R.I.P.

aww RIP

Grew up playing MANY of his games. awful news :(

Loved Rainbow Six (mainly the training bit) and the original Splinter Cell was one of the first games i got on the Original xbox, can remember how hyped up it was at the time.

I'm quite shocked, I've never read any of his books but he was a giant of the industry.

Bloody hell that's young! :(

Rest in peace... am I imagining this or had he been ill for a while?

RIP

Rest in peace, never read his books, but the games under his name were always decent, especially Rainbow Six Vegas

don't know who he was, but found it cool he was from baltimore!

R.I.P

..I was so stunned at this, I didn't know he had been ill..a great writer. I've read a few of his books and of seen the movies as well..I can remember watching my boys playing games like Splinter Cell and Ghost Recon and even had a go myself, although I was rubbish at them...what an incredibly sad loss...RIP....
