      It wasn't an awkward question. There are many writers who absolutely need to at least a rough outline to help them know where they want their story to go and their characters to end up. Some writers, like Clancy or King, just make up interesting characters, think up interesting situations, and develop the story by the seat of the pants. The latter fascinates people who have it drilled in their minds that they need an outline, including me. He wants to know who he does it, but like many successful pantsers, he just... gets it, to the point that he doesn't need to care about it. That's amazing in my book.

      I don't think, there has ever a game made based on his books which have followed the book's plot accurately. even the Splinter Cell games uses different plots. and Rainbow Six, as you know is a FPS co-op, instead of following the story of the character John Clark.... it's such a shame though, the books has a great potential, (they have better plot and universe building than whatever ubisoft has did with their games so far) they are filled with thrilling espionage stories. adapting them into the video game format would be a great achievement. they could directly competition with Metal Gear series. sadly Ubisoft has no brain, they just want to do quick cash grab in the name of Tom Clancy

    It was very interesting to meet Tom Clancy in person shortly after I returned from Desert Storm.

As a result of that conversation, I knew that the basic premise of Cardinal of the Kremlin was focused on SDI before the book actually came out.

    That is interesting how Clancy tells about terrorist threat as a minor thing for contemporary United States just three years before the 9/11.
    The event that pulled the country into the conflict lasting for decades, cost zillions of dollars and lots and lots and lots of lost human lives.

    • @tswims92

      You are 100% right it’s super interesting here his pretty mainstream take on terror from the pre-9/11 world. And wonder how his opinions would have changed Post 9/11.
      But no one could have predicted a terror attack like that at the time. It was bombs, car bombs, grenades, and hostage taking. No one had ever thought to use an airplane as the weapon.
      In hind sight yeah we see it as an obvious next step, but back then no one would have thought like that. Other then bin Laden. And it changed our world sadly.

    • @azgarogly
      @azgarogly ปีที่แล้ว

      @@tswims92 Totally disagree.
      The possibility of massive terror event was well known and elaborated in mass media and most probably in the agency studies.
      It was deemed "less probable", but the threat itself was there.
      It was connected to terrorists gaining access to "special materials" like nuclear devices, radioactive material, chemical weapons, dangerous biological agents, etc. But destroying a skyscraper by means of explosives, mechanical force and/or fire was quite obvious too.
      Even WTC as a targeting by islamic terrorist group was nothing new. 1993 WTC bombing was a failed attempt to do exactly the same thing.
      Airplane was just a tool. Using airplane as a missile wasn't a very novel idea either.
      We have to give credit to bin laden for putting all the pieces together and, the main thing, making it through the whole complex and high risk process of the preparation and execution. But no way the idea of act of terrorism of that scale. And that is what I meant here. Clancy thought terrorism is a minor thing.

    It's not that Tom Clancy brought a different approach to view national security & naval strategy, it's that he found (like I did during my time) that USN officers corps suffers from a seriously pathetic lack of intellectual discourse.
