Anyone here read his books? What did you think of them? I've read The Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games, and Red Storm Rising, which were all excellent, Red Rabbit, which wasn't too great, and I started SSN but couldn't get into it. Right now I'm trying out some of his other series, Op-Center, Power Plays and Net Force. What do you guys think of these ones?

I have read all of "his" books except the newest one. I think all of them are great but my favorites would have to be "Rainbow Six" and "Without Remorse". I would avoid with all costs all those other series that have his name on it ("Tom Clancy's Net Force", etc.). These books are not written by him. They are simply based on an idea of his and they are written by others. You can see that they say "created by Tom Clancy" but another author actually has the writing or copyright credit. I think they are not as well-written.

Yeah, I knew they weren't written by him, but I was curious to see if someone could take one of his ideas and run with it the way he could. "Politika" is definitely not up to Clancy's high-water mark, but it's still an interesting story.
