1. Most commonly referring to/of the series of multimedia (books, games, etc) written or endorsed by famous novelist Tom Clancy (Marine!, Rainbow Six).

2. May also be an action similar to one displayed by his books' characters.

Whoever think this guy doesn't write good books is f***ing retarted. Patriot Games and Rainbow Six are two of the greatest books of all time, and if you don't think so you probably can't read. Either that or you haven't actually read his books.

Great novelist, known for his realism in his novels he does research on the topics of his books.

A bestselling author with a slew of novels known for their realism like Rainbow Six.

His only two faults are that 1) He's dead, and 2) he never told Ubisoft to stop making terrible iterations of his novels. He smiles knowing that his novels will remain legendary but occasionally rolls in his grave as E3 shows aspirations of a game based off his books that are NEVER the final product.

Dog shit novelist extraordinare. All his stories are about terrorist or communists getting their asses whomped by the "free", democratic western countries. Even though his stories are generic and boorish, they do make for mildly entertaining movies (Hunt For Red October), and pretty decent videogames (Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, etc).
Even though his stories are mostly shit. His success is quite high. His obscene crap-to-money ratio amazes us all. So Tom Clancy, for that, I salute you.
In fact. One man (Maddox) proved once and for all that anyone can make a storyline which equals anything Clancy can write. Don't believe me? Just check it out under "Five shitty movies that everybody loves" at www.thebestpageintheuniverse.com, at the bottom of the page is the "Tom Clancy Plot Generator", using this, I have created a plot just as good as anything Tom Clancy could make:..

Middling quality thriller novelist who probably does his homework on the research end of things, is full of American jingoism, and avoids including sex scenes in his books because he thinks that makes them more respectable. Has had two middling good movies made of his work, The Hunt for Red October and The Sum of All Fears.
