Did Clancy actually write this book ?
“Rainbow Six” is the last book Clancy actually wrote. “Dead or Alive” was ghostwritten by another person using his name as a marketing tool. Big, easy bucks in that sort of fraud!
I’m not in on the secrets but he had a coauthor this time, Grant Blackwood, who has coauthored with others. I would guess Blackwood did a lot of the writing. It works well, with just the right snappy tone to the dialogue and a lot of authentic-sounding detail.
