Biography
Thomas Leo Clancy Jr. (April 12, 1947 – October 1, 2013) was an American writer. He was best known for his techno-thrillers, which feature technical details in espionage and military science settings. Originally an insurance agent, Clancy published his first novel, The Hunt for Red October, in 1984. Eighteen novels followed between 1986 and 2013.
Clancy's Ryanverse series features the character Jack Ryan, an analyst working for the Central Intelligence Agency. It ranks among the best-selling series of fictional books of all time, with more than 100 million copies in print. Clancy also wrote non-fiction books on military subjects and has created other techno-thriller series of novels bearing his name.
Clancy died in 2013 at the age of 66. His family estate has continued the Ryanverse through a series of authors. Clancy's creation has appeared in film and television, with Ryan being portrayed by five actors, and has also inspired video games such as the Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell and The Division series.
