It's not written by Clancy, that's by Clive Cussler. And one of the less crap ones.

You're a disgrace to your profession.

Because you didn't even use a search engine to check who wrote it (I was only joking anyway).

At his best, The Hunt For Red October, he was a fantastic author. At his more recent worst he churned out unreadable pap.

The majority of his stuff was good and whiled away many hours for me during my teen years.

The rumours he was knocked off by the NSA are probably totally unfounded.

Is he really?

Or has he staged his death?

Agreed with Bob, except that the total military hardware geek in me preferred Red Storm Rising. Plus it was a truly excellent (for the time) sub sim.
