Or rather they are not all that talented to begin with and only create a good book with the help of an editor. Is that not called "Tom Clancy desease"? I do not understand what the fuss is about there - I rather would have liked if the heavily edited books in the beginning would have been left with greater freedom for Tom Clancy to write as he did in the end. But it has to appeal to the masses, otherwise it is a useless book for the publisher, right? The publishers are not interested in creating good books, only interested in books that will sell to the most possible readers at the highest possible cost.
