Ahhhhhhhh, you may have hit on something!! Tom Clancy also left his wife of many years and married a black gal and I think she's from another country...however that is NOT why I said he went to the dark side. I said that because he has aligned himself with the cabalist Zinni.
I will not be buying any more of his group written books. Some serious readers wonder if he has written a book by himself for years.
