[QUOTE=fjtorres;1707912]When was the last release of a Clancy-branded book or movie?
I'm thinking there's a reason he sold the brand outright to Ubisoft.

Clancy released a new book recently, Against All Enemies, it was released earlier this year. Got pretty average reviews. UBISOFT bought the rites to his name in games and other media not books.
Still a few mainstream authors writing action and thriller. The Indie world however seems to be dominated by Urban Fantasy and the like.
