    Thirty years ago, Tom Clancy was a Maryland insurance broker with a passion for naval history. Years before, he had been an English major at Baltimore’s Loyola College and had always dreamed of writing a novel. His first effort, The Hunt for Red October, sold briskly as a result of rave reviews, then catapulted onto the New York Times bestseller list after President Reagan pronounced it “the perfect yarn.” From that day forward, Clancy established himself as an undisputed master at blending exceptional realism and authenticity, intricate plotting, and razor-sharp suspense. He passed away in October 2013. Mike Maden grew up working in the canneries, feed mills, and slaughterhouses of California’s San Joaquin Valley. A lifelong fascination with history and warfare ultimately led to a Ph.D. in political science, focused on conflict and technology in international relations. Like millions of others, he first became a Tom Clancy fan after reading The Hunt for Red October; he began his published fiction career in the same techno-thriller genre with Drone and continued with the sequels, Blue Warrior, Drone Command, and Drone Threat. Maden is honored to be “joining The Campus” as a writer in Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Jr., series. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 TOM CLANCY 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 S30 N31 9780735215924_LineOfSight_TX.indd i 3/14/18 12:03 AM ALSO BY TOM CLANCY 01 FICTION 02 The Hunt for Red October 03 Red Storm Rising Patriot Games 04 The Cardinal of the Kremlin 05 Clear and Present Danger The Sum of

We keep God from giving us the great spiritual gifts he has for us because we do not give thanks for daily gifts. We think that we cannot be satisfied with the small amount of spiritual knowledge, experience and love given to us and always look greedily for greater gifts (Jer.

  • Tom Clancy's Novels
    TOM CLANCY, 1947-2013 Tom Clancy, whose name is synonymous with the modern technical military and spy thriller genre, passed away on October 1, 2013 near his home in Maryland, after a short illness. He was 66. Clancy was born April 12, 1947, in Baltimore, MD, into a middle-class family. Even as a child, he was fascinated with naval and military history, passing up typical juvenile reading material for the types of detailed journals and technical books that were aimed at career military officers or experts in engineering fields. His pre-teen and teen years were filled with reading fictional and non-fictional accounts of submarine warfare, cold war espionage and politics, and high-tech military equipment. Clancy’s own hopes of serving in the military were stymied when it turned out he was too nearsighted to qualify for military service. Instead, after graduating from Loyola College in Balitmore with an English degree in 1969, he took a job working in the rural insurance agency founded by his wife’s grandfather. His passion for the military, military history, and the backdrop of modern day espionage convinced him to write, which he did in his spare time. In 1984, his first novel, The Hunt for Red October, achieved instantaneous success. It was received well by critics, but received its most positive buzz when President Ronald Reagan was seen to be reading it and commented on how much he enjoyed the novel. Clancy’s next several thrillers, Red Storm Rising, Patriot Games, The Cardinal of the Kremlin and Clear and Present Danger all became blockbuster bestsellers, and inspired a large number of imitators, establishing Clancy at the top of the technothriller genre.

  • THE TEETH of the TIGER 3 and Then Rose to Collect His Package
    PROLOGUE THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIVER DAVID GREENGOLD had been born in that most American of communities, Brooklyn, but at his Bar Mitz­ vah, something important had changed in his life. After proclaiming “Today I am a man,” he’d gone to the celebra­ tion party and met some family members who’d flown in from Israel. His uncle Moses was a very prosperous dealer in diamonds there. David’s own father had seven retail jew­ elry stores, the flagship of which was on Fortieth Street in Manhattan. While his father and his uncle talked business over Cal­ ifornia wine, David had ended up with his first cousin, Daniel. His elder by ten years, Daniel had just begun work for the Mossad, Israel’s main foreign-intelligence agency, and, a quintessential newbie, he had regaled his cousin with stories. Daniel’s obligatory military service had been with the Israeli paratroopers, and he’d made eleven jumps, and had seen some action in the 1967 Six Day War. For him, it had been a happy war, with no serious casualties in his company, and just enough kills to make it seem to have been a sporting adventure—a hunting trip against game 2 TOM CLANCY that was dangerous, but not overly so, with a conclusion that had fitted very well indeed with his prewar outlook and expectations. The stories had provided a vivid contrast to the gloomy TV coverage of Vietnam that led off every evening news broadcast then, and with the enthusiasm of his newly reaf­ firmed religious identity, David had decided on the spot to emigrate to his Jewish homeland as soon as he graduated from high school.
