I will miss his books, "Red Storm Rising" and "Clear and Present Danger" are both in my library. Some of his later books [1] suffered from too much detail, where I would have appreciated an editor with the guts to say "Tom, its great that this character has a full life history and several motivating events in their past, but we don't actually need all of that in the book to tell this story ...".
It's also sad to see a talented writer die at such a young age. Goodbye Tom, thanks for the great books.
[1] I am specifically referring to "The Bear and the Dragon" in this example.
