As kid i really couldn't be bothered much by reading. I only done so when we would go on summer vacation. It was 16 years ago we would go on vacation and i bought this book called "spook piloot" in English "Ghost pilot but not sure if that was the title for the english book. I started to read it, and gods i got hooked, i read the whole book in three days or something. Where i normally would take the entire vacation of 3 weeks to finish a book. It combined action, tense situations and games together. I loved his vision of how we would use the computers in the future, where websites where virtual hubs and you would login Matrix style (not sure who came up with it first).
Ever since that book Tom Clancy became my favorite writer of all time. Read all the Netforce explorers books and with age moved on to his other books. At the same time i was also a huge fan of the Rainbow Six games. I thought they where based on one of his book so i was looking for over 10 years or so to find the book Rainbow Six, but no bookstore could help me. Turned out it wasn't a book till somewhere in 2000 xD Loved that book too.
Tom Clancy invented the Cyber Thriller genre with Netforce, got great legendary stories on his name like The Hunt for Red October and helped out with many great games. One can disagree with the games being good or not. But Rainbow six changed how we saw shooters, that they could be more then high action gun and run games.
I will miss Tom Clancy a lot. He got me involved in reading again and its a shame we won't see any more of his work.
