Yes, quite hard to go to bed on time when reading his novels. Have read all of his fiction (many several times.. especially Rainbow Six), and am working on his non-fiction now.

Same here.. I have all of his books on my Android.. all that is left to read are his non-fictions though. I will gladly start his Jack Ryan series again when I finish with those non-fictions.

Ascension

And if I go,
while you’re still here...
Know that I live on,
vibrating to a different measure
—behind a thin veil you cannot see through.
You will not see me,
so you must have faith.
I wait for the time when we can soar together again,
—both aware of each other.
Until then, live your life to its fullest.
And when you need me,
Just whisper my name in your heart,
...I will be there.

- Colleen Corah Hitchcock

Tom Clancy, from the dedication page of ‘Executive Orders’:

“In the orginal hardcover edition of ‘Without Remorse’ are the words of a poem which I found by accident and whose title and author I was unable to identify. I found in them the perfect remembrance for my ‘little buddy,’ Kyle Haydock, who succumbed to cancer at the age of eight years and twenty-six days - to me he will never really be gone. Later I learned that the title of this poem is ‘Ascension,’ and that the author who penned these magnificent words is Colleen Hitchcock, a poet of rare talent living in Minnesota. I wish to take this opportunity to commend her work to all students of the lyric phrase. As her words caught and excited my attention, I hope they will have the same effect of others.”

He actually contemplated a US Senate run in Maryland about twenty five years ago.

I wish they would make “Without Remorse” staring Gary Sinise
