    Yes, he's a writer. The games are based on his creations and often carry the title "Tom Clansy's Splinter Cell" if the game is based on his Splinter Cell series for example. Just like Ian Fleming's James Bond, the Bond films aren't about Fleming.

    Clancy didn't write "Against All Enemies" by himself, although you'd never know by looking at the book jacket:

    Reviews kinda stink - it'll bomb down the rankings.
