okay do you have a rough idea of how many books there are in the series because i feel like it seems like a lot
yeah so based off of the wikipedia page i saw in terms of tom clancy writing solo while he was alive because the series got picked up by people yeah uh the jack ryan series makes up 12 books
okay and then there's some ghost writing the ones afterwards
