There's at least one more novel coming. He has a new Jack Ryan book coming in December.
The Ryan movie series also gets a reboot in December, with Chris Pine in the lead.

RIP and such..
But for the games, the added Tom Clancy was just a tagline, Ubisoft's version of 'Sid Meier'.. a name to sell based on recognition.

GOD DAMN IT! I WANTED MORE JACK RYAN NOVELS!
:(
Well then...time to stalk the nearest bookstores/used library book stores to complete my Tom Clancy collection if possible.

Don't worry, his estate will put like 25 new ones on market in next decade. With his name, of course.
Though, once you realize his war books are all "MURICA FUCKYEAH" where US side has cheat codes turned on and enemy side never does anything right (but does every single mistake in war) they quickly lose any appeal.

Yeah, the pncvgbyohvyqvat sure had its cheat codes on...

His novels weren't good. At all. And don't get me started on the games.

It happens more frequently the older you get. Some of my professors at the Masters level didn't even make it through the few years it took me to get the degree, and all of them were famous.

He was a good writer. I read most of the Jack Ryan books. They were all at least decent with some being very good. One of the better ones was chronologically the first one, Without Remorse. Should have appeal to action fans; the rest is more espionage.
Glad a lot of you know he had nothing to do with the games. Also, a lot of young adult novels were written in his name, but not by him.

He has just deceased recently. Will update with sources soon.
Even though I do not love all his works, some of them are truly amazing :(
