Rest in Peace Tom Clancy,

Once I read The hunt for Red October I could not stop putting books down.

Thank you for writing all those magnificent books.

Is it just me or is Tom Clancy using an assembly line to push out new books? A new book focused around the Max Moore character is coming out June 5th 2012…

The book is called Search and Destroy.

Can’t wait to read it as I liked the first one.

You can pre-order it from a multitude of sources, just check out his website

Finished the new Tom Clancy: Dead or Alive

February 14, 2011 by Mike in Highcarbbooks News | Leave a comment

I finished reading Dead or Alive a while back and really enjoyed it, as I enjoyed many of his books. I really like that I can keep following the characters from previous books in this series. Jack Ryan, Jack jr., Chavez, Clark
etc.
