Bestselling author Tom Clancy has died at the age of 66 in his birth town of Baltimore, Maryland at one of the country's leading cancer hospitals.
Clancy wrote espionage and military thrillers including 'The Hunt for Red October,' 'Patriot Games,' 'Clear and Present Danger' and 'The Sum of All Fears.'
Those four books were all turned into successful blockbuster films starring actors Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, and Ben Affleck. Another film based on his desk-jockey CIA hero, 'Jack Ryan,' is set for release later this year, while his next book, 'Command Authority,' is set to be published on December 3.
John Hopkins, the hospital where he died also featured in many times in his books along with a number of characters that worked as doctors, nurses or were patched up there

I read his books. Rest in peace Tom.
