Line 35:

In [[1999]], Clancy, at age 52, married 32-year-old fellow writer [[Alexandra Marie Llewellyn]], on [[June 26]].

Clancy was an early and, to many, surprising defender of [[Islam]] after the [[September 11, 2001 attacks|September 11, 2001 attacks]]. He was interviewed on [[CNN]] later that day. Clancy has also associated himself with General [[Anthony Zinni]], a critic of the [[Iraq War]]. The two have worked together on two books.

''[[The Hunt for Red October]]'', ''[[Patriot Games]]'', ''[[Clear and Present Danger]]'', and ''[[The Sum of All Fears]]'' have been turned into commercially successful films with actors [[Alec Baldwin]], [[Ben Affleck]], and [[Harrison Ford]] as Clancy's most famous fictional character [[Jack Ryan (Tom Clancy)|Jack Ryan]], while his second famous character [[John Clark (Tom Clancy character)|John Clark]] has been played by actors [[Willem Dafoe]] and [[Liev Schreiber]]. The first [[NetForce]] novel was adapted as a television movie, starring [[Scott Bakula]] and [[Joanna Going]]. The first [[Op-Center]] novel was released to coincide with a 1995 NBC television mini-series of the same name [http://http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114691/ (Tom Clancy's Op-Center)] starring Harry Hamlin and a cast of stars. Though the mini-series didn't continue the book series did, but it had little in common with the first mini-series other than the title and the names of the main characters.

The website [[IMDB]] reports that Tom Clancy's novel ''[[Without Remorse]]'' is to be made into a movie and is expected to be released in 2009. Filming is to commence in 2008. No other details are availbleavailable (25 May 2007).

With the release of ''[[The Teeth of the Tiger]]'', Clancy introduced Jack Ryan's son and two nephews as main characters. Presumably, he has retired Jack Ryan as a central character. Many fans have expressed disappointment in Clancy's recent fiction works and sales of his books have reflected the growing trend of readers turning away from Clancy.
