Unfortunately, Tom Clancy used to produce excellent books and produced some excellent films from his books (Patriot Games in particular). Now, he seems to have effectively retired and just licences his name seemingly for anything.

So, while seeing the name "Tom Clancy" on the cover of a book or video used to be a sign that that book or film was probably a good, taught, thriller, the only thing it signifies now is that Tom has sold his name to someone else.

That's not to say everything produced is bad. It's not. Some of the games are excellent, as, I am sure, the next Jack Ryan film will be.
