Tom Clancy, author of military novels, passes away

Tom Clancy, who wrote several military novels, died on Tuesday at the age of 66. He is best known for his complex and adventure-fuelled military novels. However, the cause of his death is yet not known. Clancy's books were successfully transformed into successful Hollywood films. Few of the films made on his novels include 'Patriot Games', 'The Hunt for Red October' and 'Clear and Present Danger'. 

One of his books was set for publication this December. 'Command Authority' will hit the stands in December this year. Many of his novels were number one in the New York TImes best-seller list, including 'Threat Vector' which was launched in December 2012. 

His books sold like hot cakes and made him a millionaire. Clancy was an insurance salesman when he sold his first novel, 'The Hunt for Red October', to the Naval Institute Press for only USD 5000.
