Quotes

  • “Life is about learning; when you stop learning, you die.”
  • “The odds against becoming the next Frederick Forsythe are, of course, somewhere between merely exponential and astronomical-incredible. I’ll settle for a book-jacket with my name on it.”
  • “I’ve made up stuff that’s turned out to be real, that’s the spooky part.”
  • “I like writing. It's the most fun I've ever had at anything. You can build your own little world and — like a kid with his toy trains, — except instead of trains I have tanks and ships and airplanes and things... I get to make them do all the things I want them to do, and if I don't like the way things work out, I start again.”
  • “I write strictly for fun... as long as it stays fun I'll continue to do it.”
  • “Victory comes only to those prepared to make it, and take it.”

Thomas Leo Clancy Jr. (Baltimore, 12 de Abril de 1947 – 1 de Outubro de 2013) foi um escritor e historiador norte-americano, conhecido por seus enredos detalhados de espionagem e de ciência militar que ocorrem durante e depois da Guerra Fria. Considerado o inventor do "techno-thriller", um gênero híbrido literário que funde ação e aventura militar, ficção de espionagem e ficção científica com realismo social, incluindo uma quantidade desproporcionada de detalhes técnicos. Dezessete dos seus romances foram sucessos de venda e tem mais de 100 milhões de cópias dos seus livros em impressão. O seu nome também é usado por escritores fantasma para argumentos de filmes, livros não-fictícios sobre temas militares e videojogos. Foi co-proprietário da equipe de basebol Baltimore Orioles e Vice-Presidente das Atividades Comunitárias e dos Comitês de Relações Públicas. A carreira literária de Clancy começou em 1984 quando vendeu The Hunt for Red October por $5,000. Os seus trabalhos, The Hunt for Red October (1984), Patriot Games (1987), Clear and Present Danger (1989), e The Sum of All Fears (1991), foram adaptados para cinema tornando-se filmes bem sucedidos comercialmente. Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck, Chris Pine e John Krasinski fizeram o papel de Jack Ryan, o personagem mais famoso de Clancy, enquanto o segundo mais conhecido, John Clark, já foi interpretado por Willem Dafoe, Liev Schreiber e Michael B. Jordan.
