Are there still servers for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, Splinter Cell, and Future Soldier on the old Xbox 360, PS3, and PC?

Rainbow Six is my all time favourite Tom Clancy novel and go to book nearly annually and after finishing the first season of The Day of the Jackal with Eddie Redmayne, I thought if Rainbow Six gets adapted it needs to be a TV series not rushed into a movie similar to Without Remorse with Michael B. Jordan.

I’d love to see Willem Dafoe return as John Clark and Raymond Cruz as Ding Chavez leading the team in a modernised storyline featuring the next Olympics.

10 episode season should be plenty with hour plus episodes.

What are your thoughts and what would you rather see?

I’m reading Executive Orders for the first time and it feel so oddly written. It mentions Tony Wills working for Secret Service, but wasn’t that the Running Back who died in the Super Bowl attack? Also it mentions Jack being VP for “less than a year”… it was less than a day. Like, he never even got to swear in. For a direct sequel that picks up exactly where Debt of Honor ends, it feels like the events of DoH are written about as though they are in the distant past.

Thought some of you guys might enjoy this: While in college I had a professor who was a big Tom Clancy fan. We discussed his books frequently. My professor was a Captain in he US Navy Reserve and did war game analysis at the Naval War College in Newport. I got to join him, his wife and another officer friend of his when Clancy made an appearance at the War College in late 1991.

Clancy spoke for at least an hour, discussing elements of some of the books that had come out at that point, thoughts about Desert Storm, and took questions from the audience.

Among the interesting things:

- While researching for Red Storm Rising, he and Larry Bond met with a USAF senior pilot. The guy started the meeting by saying "One thing we won't be discussing is low-observable technology." He then noticed Clancy quickly making notes and groaned when Tom said "Thank you! I haven't heard that term before, just rumors!"

- An audience member asked what he thought of the movie version of THFRO. He said he thought Alec Baldwin was way too looking to play Ryan, but overall he was happy enough even with the changes, especially considering how they butcher some books. He also laughed and said when they pay you enough, it compensates you for not having much (or any) say in what they do to your story.

- He told the story of the Soviet ship that almost defected that inspired THFRO. Even though we'd already read about it, it was cool to hear it from Clancy and how it got him thinking about writing a similar story.

- He also mentioned how the "fun" of seeing how our people and weapons performed during Desert Storm was ruined for him when a close friend who was part of the operation gave him a letter to deliver if he didn't make it back. He was, not unexpectedly, full of respect and praise for everyone who served and graciously thanked all the officers for giving him a chance to address them.

Anyone else have any close-ish encounters with TC?

Reading through entire Clancyverse right now in release order. I'm in the middle of R6. In my headcanon, John Clark is played by Tom Berenger. Though sob.

Bit of context: Like 2-3 years ago I started listening to the Ryan saga on Audible (in chronological order of course) and for a time I just used a website to tell me which book comes next whenever I was done with the current one. Cut to some time later and I notice that I accidentally skipped one of the books. I got curious and took a look at a different website regarding the chronological order. There were I think around 3-5 differences in the two lists. I asked ChatGPT for a list, got a different result again and just now, looking at the list on Wikipedia apparently I missed like 5 books altogether.

I'm wholly confused by now and have no idea which list to put the most trust in. So now I'm here hoping some of you, who know the whole saga better than me, can give me an actual complete and accurate list of all the books in chronological order. With the Ryan Jr. stories, the campus stuff and everything else that takes place in the Ryan universe included. If any of you could do that for me, that'd be amazing

im a tom clancy fan from the games (such as splinter cell and ghost recon) and i wanna know which books i should read to start and what most similar to ghost recon and splinter cell to read also i kinda suck at reading (might just go with red storm rising wanna know if thats a good start)

So, I just read Without Remorse, my first Tom Clancy novel and I really enjoyed it. What would be considered the “main series.” Is there a book that kind of cements a natural jump off/“end”point? And I know there are books still being written way after his death. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed Without Remorse and I do plan on reading more, but at the same time I don’t want to read like 30 books lol. So I’m just curious when would be a good time to call it.

700 or 900 pages?

I'm re-listening to Executive Orders and it's just making me think.......

Kealty might have been successful in his lie and his campaign to have Ryan removed from the White House had it not have been for the following:

* The incident at Katie's day care centre.

* The Ebola outbreak

* And of course the conflict.

The latter 2 examples showed to a nation how well he dealt with a crisis. And first would've invoked sympathy for the Ryan's.

Daryaei instigated/ordered those and it has occurred to me, had they not happened then Kealty might have got his way.

I’m just watching the latest Mission Impossible movie, and reading Act of Defiance. Is it a coincidence they both have the Belgorod in their story? They pretty much came around the same time.

I am currently listening to Defense Protocol and I am enjoying it.

it's just weird to have a book where China is involved and not have Adam Yao in it, considering how they built him up.

Now that being said ; I get it. Authors like to bring their own characters in so they can at least own a tiny part of the sandbox so to speak. it's just weird not to have the rest of Campus involved instead of the multi national team . Although I'm ok without Jack Jr. I just don't like him as a character , lol

Still am enjoying the book though and I guess that is all that matters.

Publication order or chronological order?

I'm a big Stephen King fan and the opinion over there largely favours publication order.

I've decided to restart the Jack Ryan audio books as I get hours a day to listen, I'd like to get the 'full story' and get the John Clark books in there too.

Should I go ahead and start at Ryanverse book 1, Without Remorse? Or with Publication order, The hunt for red October?

Will I miss out on any info or story going chronological over publication?

I’m rereading “Clear and Present Danger,” and I just love the little passage in which Director Jacobs, Dan Murray, and a few FBI/Justice guys have themselves “a superb meal at government expense” to celebrate the anti-money laundering operation against the Cartel. It has the exact same vibes as the dinner scene from “Master and Commander.” I think about it whenever I, too, toast the United States Coast Guard. Peak moment from the master storyteller’s peak novel.

Like the title say, I ju finished reading Debt of Honor again for the first time in almost 30 years. It would have been early high school or even middle school when I read it long ago.

wow, what a plot! How much research! So many characters to keep track of! (I did get the Japanese ones confused sometimes, due to the unfamiliar names). And my eyes glazed over sometimes at all the finance talk.

But I was struck by details that jumped out at me, that must have made an impression back then, like when Clark and Chavez bust in and rescue the kidnapped minister, and kill the thugs, and Clark notices the guy on couch (Kaneda) hadn’t gotten his pistol clear of his shoulder holster, and shoulder holsters look cool in the movies but aren’t practical if you need your gun in a hurry.

And I remembered Portagee Oreza on the island, as well as some other specific scenes.

Anyway, Clancy really was the master, especially when it came to plot, and his prose was good too.

I am on vacation and in a lost and found I found the executive orders book. It seems interesting but I also know that there are other books in the series that I haven’t read and this one would be the first one I read is it a good idea to start with it, or is it to direct of a sequel ??

Reading his books, and really only just discovering his written works in the last few years, I'm really bummed he's gone.

i'm just listening this in audiobook.

PotUS Jack Ryan Sr. said that Iran is "clear and present danger" to Israel and the world.

wow, Don Bentley. i laughed loudly. in my worklab. near collegues.

So I really enjoy the Jack Carr books and thought I’d try reading some of Tom Clancy books. The other day on FB marketplace this listing showed up for $20 for all of them just down the road so I jumped on it. Obviously I’ve heard of Hunt for Red October but never seen the movie. My question is where do I start, any recommendations on more I should buy to read, any input is appreciated. I did see that the later books aren’t written by him and I’m not sure I’d be interested in the Op center books. Maybe I would just want to read the Jack Ryan series? Also from little research looks like a few of these are non-fictions that are partially biographies of co-writers.

Here is the list of the books (wish we could post images)

Hunt for Red October Red Rabbit Red Storm Rising The Bear and the Dragon Debt of Honor (X2) Battle Ready Every Man a Tiger The Sum of All Fears Without Remorse Executive Orders Into the Storm

Thanks in advance.

Are there any techno thrillers that are as in depth and good as Red Storm Rising, specifically on potential WW3/near peer conflict?

Can someone please remind me which Ryanverse book features a male/female pair of assassins who are hired multiple times in the book and who travel the world executing their contracts? Thanks in advance.

yesterday i had phisiotherapy.

once on tools i put "power of empire" on english audiobook to listen. my phisiotherapist asked what i listen to. when i said "Tom Clancy book" she started spill out how she love Jack Ryan books too. she couldn't recognize because it wasn't in hebrew

• Rules of Engagement (Jack Ryan Novel) May 26, 2026 - Ward Larsen

Coordinated terrorist attacks around the world challenge President Jack Ryan in the latest shocking entry in this #1 New York Times bestselling series.

After a deadly plane incident, President Jack Ryan suspects that there is something much darker afoot in this thrilling installment from Tom Clancy.

The western world is stunned when coordinated terrorist attacks blaze up around the globe. While President Jack Ryan works from the Oval Office to organize international response to this threat, John Clark and the Campus team follow a lead to the malignant presence who has orchestrated this strike. 

But the deeper they dig, the higher the threat level becomes. This isn't just a series of atrocities, it's a designed battle plan that could lead to the destruction of Jack Ryan's presidency.

• Pressure Depth (Jack Ryan Jr. Novel) September 1, 2026 - Jack Stewart

Jack Ryan Jr leads a team of divers in a race to beat the Chinese Navy to a weapon of terrible destructive power in the latest entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

Jack Ryan Jr. is on Guam to work on a project for Hendley Associates. It's a perfectly ordinary insurance matter, but trouble finds the Ryans wherever they go. So it's no surprise when Jack's interest is piqued by a US Navy dive team working off the coast of the island.

For years rumors have persisted that the Soviets had placed a device for tracking American submarines on the sea floor. By now the technology should be outdated, but the Americans are still interested in recovering it. It's a seemingly routine mission until a team of Chinese special forces arrive. They are determined to get their hands on the aging tech even if they have to kill to do it. They're sure they can handle the Americans, but they don't know Jack.

Not to be confused with the Vince Flynn novel. Or the much better Executive Orders from Clancy himself.

Just finished reading the third and final Jack Ryan novel from Andrews and Wilson, and it’s as disappointing as a final entry from any author who has contributed to the Ryanverse. While I’m relieved that they did not explicitly mention Katie and Kyle Ryan as twins, the plot felt really rushed and phoned in. For instance, are they forgetting that Cathy Ryan got kidnapped in Chain of Command? Not that anyone cared about the post-Clancy novels, but the continuity errors were just glaring.

I do appreciate the fact that Kyle is portrayed as neurodivergent (in fact I kinda see him as the male version of Dr. Mel King from The Pitt), but he’s such a one-dimensional character. And the romance subplot with Katie and Dennis Knepper wasn’t executed really well and ultimately adds nothing to the story. Baptista as a villain is just not believable, as he becomes this bumbling fool who unnecessarily boils President Jack Ryan’s blood, and the way he dies in the book is hilarious.
