The only other thing I remember from the books is one of the little slice of life vignettes is a British sailor in a convoy that falls prey to a Soviet sub wolfpack; he's badly burned by a flaming oil slick and probably dying in a hospital because he also inhaled some oil, so the sister that I mentioned above who is working as a nurse (I think this is after she escaped the husband) grants him one final act of mercy and blows him right before he dies

Oh god drat :lol:

There was one I remember a friend in middle school had, it was a random book from a series about some American super CIA agent who's running things now while doing missions on the side, oh and America is in the midst of WW3 but with the Nazis in South America. Then they kidnapped his son or something?

Wasn't the R6 heartbeat sensor thing something that someone was shopping around back in the day, and it was as bogus as those wands with fake/useless electronics that were supposedly bomb detectors, but Clancy totally fell for it and thought the tech was real?

I'm too lazy to go find the source for this but yes, I recall that being the case.
