Thirty years ago Tom Clancy was a Maryland
insurance broker with a passion for naval history. Years before, he
had been an English major at Baltimore’s Loyola College and had
always dreamed of writing a novel. His first effort, The Hunt
for Red October—the first of the phenomenally successful Jack Ryan
novels—sold briskly as a result of rave reviews, then catapulted
onto the New York Times bestseller list after President
Reagan pronounced it “the perfect yarn.” From that day forward,
Clancy established himself as an undisputed master at blending
exceptional realism and authenticity, intricate plotting, and
razor-sharp suspense. He passed away in October 2013.
David Michaels is the author of two Tom Clancy's Ghost
Recon novels and several Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell novels.
