Like others I lost interest after Rainbow Six but even that was a good read
Same for me.
I still enjoy the Jack Ryan/John Clark stuff reread them regularly. The Cardinal and the Kremlin was my introduction followed by Red Storm Rising then the Hunt for Red October.
I too, never got in to the other series, like Op Center.
He was king of the techno-thriller, but there was one other author who did a great job, though not as prolific-- Stephen Coonts. In some ways, he was much better than Clancy. He was an A-6 driver and it showed in his writing.
My biggest disappointment (besides is passing) is that audio versions of his books are always abridged. I know the books well enough to realized that parts have been skipped over. The break in continuity is disconcerting, but I get over it.
Fair winds and following seas, Mr. Clancy.
