Fact #1. Newcomers to the writings of Tom Clancy are well-advised to start with the same book that put the writer on the literary map in 1987. His debut novel, The Hunt for Red October, is a gripping tale of a Cold War-era cat-and-mouse game played between cunning submariners. Clancy spent at least two years writing the book. His work shows through in the technical accuracy and taut plot line. This book was the first to feature Jack Ryan, a character many readers would come to feel they know as if he were a personal friend.
Fact #2. If you prefer not to dive right into a huge catalog of books centered around a single character, yet you still want to experience Clancy's writing, his two standalone novels are Red Storm Rising and Against All Enemies. In total, he wrote 21 novels. 19 of these featured his signature character, Jack Ryan.
Fact #3. While less well-known for his nonfiction writing, Clancy was the author of many books packed with real life stories. They're rich in information about actual military machinery, fighting units, and strategy. His nonfiction works explored everything from the soldiers, weaponry and the tactics of a Marine Expeditionary Unit to shedding light on what life is like aboard a nuclear-powered, nuclear-armed submarine.
Fact #4. Readers should note that Clancy did not write all of his books alone. He often partnered with another author to complete his works. This was especially true later in the author's life. The last five books Clancy published were all written with a partner.
Fact #5. In the modern era, the greatest tribute a book can receive is often to be made into a major motion picture. Clancy's books received this honor many times over. The film versions of his novels are generally accepted to be faithful and well-made movies. They've also starred some of Hollywood's biggest actors.
