I think just because of all those factory-written books that have his name directly in the title. He's published 20+ books since his death in 2013.

Ha, 20 was meant to be a bit of an exaggeration. According to Wikipedia, it is actually 28

Nope, he's way out of my wheelhouse reading wise.

For a while, movies adapted from Clancy's books were prefixed "Tom Clancy's" in marketing. Then movie tie-ins of his books would have the marketing on, hence a book by Tom Clancy would be titled "Tom Clancy's [title]".

He’s also quite military tech orientated and lots of action usually

All I know is that video game adaptions of his books are titled that way e.g. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six or Tom Clancy's The Division. I dunno if his books are titled that way, too.

That makes sense. I'm going to chalk it up to my never reading his books so I don't get it 😂
