When it came to books about espionage and the Cold War, Tom Clancy, a well-known novelist, was a name that was familiar to just about everyone. The 1st of October of this year was the day when he sadly left us behind. In this article, I will do a ‘Life Cycles’ study on what I believe to be the single most significant year in a person’s work and life: the pivotal age of 36, the mid-life period, the ‘Year of Revolution’. The ‘Life Cycles’ idea is one of a kind and the only hypothesis that is completely unattached to the occult and is founded on straightforward, observable, and biographical information at the same time. This hypothesis was pioneered by me, and I have a great deal of case evidence to back it up. However, it is important to note that the existence of ‘Life Cycles’ is only due to the evidence. The symbolic twelve-year cycle serves as the foundation of the theory. It is introduced by a first year, which I refer to as the “Year of Revolution.” This is due to the fact that it is associated with a new era and direction, and it often involves tales of triumph over adversity. This year is represented by the color red, which is used in an emblem that is referred to as “the flames” (ie. the ages of birth, 12, 24, 36 etc.) In a great number of instances that I investigate, the age of 36, which is considered to be the middle of life, may be a personal high point. At this point, I would like to ask you a question: “for what is author Tom Clancy most well-known?” The answer would have to be his debut work, The Hunt for Red October, which was a successful commercial success. Specifically, we are going to look at the incidents that took place on April 12th, 1983 and April 12th, 1984, when Clancy was 36 years old. When it comes to the publication of The Hunt for Red October, this will be, in essence, a search for “red” (that is, revolutionary events). Over the course of 1982, Tom Clancy was employed at an insurance office in Baltimore, and he used his free time to write The Hunt for Red October. He wrote off to a large number of agents and publishers, and he was rejected by all of them, with the exception of a publisher that has a name that is really improbable, and that is the Naval Institute Press. This is something that many other unknown authors have done. During that time period, they had only produced a magazine and a few non-fiction books that were related to the history of the Navy and other security concerns. There was a certain degree of familiarity with Clancy due to the fact that he had previously provided them with magazine pieces. In addition, they had only lately settled on the idea of publishing books with a marine theme; nevertheless, why would they choose to publish a writer who was not well known? In a manner similar to the decision made by the Harvard Law Review to print John Grisham’s first narrative. An acquisitions editor by the name of Deborah Grosvenor had been enthralled by this story, which took place aboard a Soviet submarine during the cold war and was full of technologically complex themes, during the years 1983 and early 1984, which is the precise time that we are now visiting. However, she felt that there were an excessive number of technical details, so she requested that Clancy make some reductions. In order to comply, he removed one hundred pages from the text. This did not change the fact that she had a difficult time persuading her supervisor to even begin reading it. It was then reviewed by two outside specialists, both of whom were submariners, as the next step in the procedure. Despite the fact that the book was praised by one of the readers, they sent it back with several pages of technical adjustments. The second reader, on the other hand, entered the room with a strong suggestion that the book should not be published since, according to him, it contained “classified material.” She inquired as to the reason why they were unable to just throw away this “secret material,” but he responded by stating that he was not willing to reveal the location of the information in the book since it was classified! Ultimately, she was able to circumvent this obstacle by arranging a meeting between him and Clancy. During the course of this conversation, Clancy was successful in persuading him that he had not been privy to any sensitive material. It was now time for her to write a message to her employer, Tom Epley, in which she informed him that they had a potential best-seller here, but if they did not move soon, they may lose it to a large house in New York. Following that, her employer read the novel and loved it. Because he was now completely on board with the idea, they invested everything they had into it, including their time, their personnel, and their marketing efforts. They even hired an advertising firm in New York to assist in the promotion of the initiative. The manuscript was published in 1984 after they gave Clancy a sum of five thousand dollars for it. Clancy had thought that it would only sell 5,000 copies, but it ended up selling 45,000 copies over the course of the next year or so. Following the reading and endorsement of the book by President Ronald Reagan, who said, “It’s my sort of yarn,” the book went on to sell 300,000 copies in hardback and 2 million copies in paperback, therefore becoming a national best-seller. However, there is little question that the revolutionary events that occurred in Tom Clancy’s life, the new era and new direction that were to build his legacy, had all taken place during his core, age 36, “Year of Revolution.” As it was during the month of October that I conducted my study, we have successfully searched for the’red’ in the ‘Red October’, and we have successfully obtained our prize. The fact that his death and career were discussed on the CBS morning program, in which just one date was included in the broadcast, was the reason that I was made aware of this topic in the first place. They said that thirty years ago, well-known novelist Tom Clancy had emerged from obscurity as a result of an improbable collaboration with the Naval Press for the publication of his first published work. To a greater extent than any other, it had succeeded in establishing an entire subgenre of computer-based espionage thrillers. One of the rare writers who could make the claim that they were the first to create a new genre is him. After that, they informed me that Dad had passed away at the age of 66. For the rest, it was simple mathematics. Now, of course, if this is merely some sophisticated party trick or just a one-time incident of good luck, then I would very humbly present it to you as fascinating, but since it is highly isolated. Still, it is not the case at all. I am going to demonstrate to you, via a series of essays, that this revolutionary idea is aligned with the lives of individuals who have public profiles in a number of different ways. Cases such as Clancy, on the other hand, stand out even among the next lineup of celebrities; they are exceptional. I have faith that you will eventually come to the same conclusion.
