+TomClancy..RIP
+ElmoreLeonard...RIP
Two great contempory American writers, both sadly moved on within the space of a few days.Thank heaven America has a few of them still working.
As a tribute to both writers I have been revisiting their books, in some cases re -re-reading them, they still have the magic.
To read +Elmores books is to visit a world one would never wish to visit without an armed guard, totally enjoyable.
+Clancy had the gift, usually referred to as "The Clancy Moment", of writing just a few words that would change the entire story line and make the hairs on the back of the head stand up, he had great talent and his readers were so lucky
As a filmmaker I would read both authors works and totally visualise every chapter/scene..A Producers/Directors/Director of Photography's delight.
Thank you fellas.

Totally agree with you there -- clean and crisp writing from both of them. Surely missed.
