Tom Clancy books
The intense vividness and great plots attract readers from all over to read Tom Clancy's novels. His books have a variety of plots and settings though often the characters work their way into many sub-plots and other novels. One of his trademarks is to "...build a wide-scale story, then blend it all together bit by bit into a dramatic and fast-moving finale." (Apnaguide 9/25). He builds up amazing characters that appear in many of his novels with varying rolls. Though the settings and plots change with each novel, the style is always one of a kind. The character John Clark plays a major role in the whole series of books called: "The Jack Ryan series".
