If you’re looking to start some of the Tom Clancy novels (maybe due to hearing of his recent death and you’re wondering just who this author was), you might be wondering what is the right list of the Tom Clancy books in order -
I really love novels by Tom Clancy. And the movie according from his novels very awesome too !!His books have been called military thrillers, spy novels, techno thrillers, political thrillers, simply thrillers, and so many more. This just shows how many genres his books can encompass, how many people it has touched, and how many worlds it has reached.
So here is the chronological order of the Tom Clancy books, including the Tom Clancy Jack Ryan series. If you haven’t picked them up yet, they are well worth reading. Beware though, they are huge books, and I mean that literally. Each book has several hundred pages, and some are really really long. So you will be a truly happy camper if you enjoy reading long novels that you don’t want them ever to end.
I thoroughly enjoy the military thrillers / political thrillers with a heavy military detail and Tom Clancy is right up there with the best.
The books are listed in publication order, and the Jack Ryan series chronological order number (e.g. Jack Ryan #1) is at the end of each book. So if you want to start with the first book in the series, start with Patriot Games. If you prefer the order in which the author published them, then start with The Hunt For Red October.

Tom Clancy has written several additional novels that I actually haven’t read, so I can’t really comment much on them, including his OP-Center series (12 books), Net Force Universe series (10 books), Netforce Explorers Universe (18 books), the Power Play series (8 books), the Ghost Reckon Universe series (3 books), EndWar series (4 books), and the one book in the H.A.W.X Universe. If you have read any of these books, let me know if they are good and I’ll pick them up as well.
