question: Why are Tom Clancy Novels still realeased under his name when he died in 2013?
comment: This actually isn’t that uncommon in writing. A lot of huge book universes (especially sci-fi and mystery) will have lots of writers (or ghost writers) create books in the universe and they are really just branded that way to get sales. In this sense “Tom Clancy” is both a brand and universe. Tom Clancy also did specifically license his name to tons of stuff. Tons.
passages: The estate of romance novelist V. C. Andrews hired ghostwriter Andrew Neiderman to continue writing novels after her death, under her name and in a similar style to her original works. Many of action writer Tom Clancy's books from the 2000s bear the names of two people on their covers, with Clancy's name in larger print and the other author's name in smaller print. Various books bearing Clancy's name were written by different authors under the same pseudonym. The first two books in the "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell" franchise were written by Raymond Benson under the pseudonym David Michaels.
   Since 1980, "The Executioner, Mack Bolan" books and spinoffs - Able Team, Phoenix Force, Stony Man, and Mack Bolan - have been written by Harlequin's team of writers. The Harlequin Gold Eagle books moved Bolan into a fight against terrorism, in whose course he was given the cover identity of "Colonel John Macklin Phoenix." Since 1980, Harlequin has produced new novels, and the writer's name is mentioned on the copyright page as a provider of "a contribution" to the work, pushing the number of "Mack Bolan" novels into the hundreds; all of them bear the byline, "Don Pendleton's Mack Bolan."
   Section::::Death.
  
  Clancy died of heart failure on October 1, 2013, at Johns Hopkins Hospital, near his Baltimore home.
  
  The "Chicago Tribune" quoted Pulitzer Prize-winning author Stephen Hunter as saying, "When he published "The Hunt for Red October", he redefined and expanded the genre and as a consequence of that, many people were able to publish such books who had previously been unable to do so."
   From 2013 James has released a Jed Walker suspense thriller each year, of which the worlds fastest selling thriller author Lee Child has said: "Jed Walker is right there in Reacher’s rear-view mirror." . The Spy dealt with the dangers of "private spy" outsourcing per Edward Snowden, The Hunted was about finding WMD in Iraq, Kill Switch was about government contingency plans to shut down the internet in event of catastrophe, and Dark Heart is about refuges and border control. James has revealed that he has signed on to do a world-wide release of Jed Walker book 5, which will be a prequel going back to the days when Walker was first entering the CIA.

   This was the second time that a book of Hatfield's had been challenged. In 1985 he had written an unofficial James Bond novel, "The Killing Zone", which – although purporting to be officially sanctioned by Glidrose, Bond's literary copyright holder – was in fact a vanity novel.
   On 1 January 2015, the original Ian Fleming novels and short stories entered the public domain in Canada and other countries in which the length of copyright remains at the Berne Convention minimum of the life of the author plus 50 years. As a result, it is now legal in those countries for the original writings of Ian Fleming to be republished, or adapted into other media, without permission of the Fleming estate or its agent, Ian Fleming Publications (formerly known as Gildrose Publications). It is also now legal in those countries for original material based on Bond and other characters and concepts introduced in Fleming's written works (though not those elements that are unique to Eon Production's Bond movies) to be published.
   BULLET::::- Colin Armstrong wrote "The One That Got Away" () under the pseudonym Chris Ryan. It criticized Mitchell's leadership of the patrol and was particularly hostile in tone to the conduct of Phillips. Armstrong used the same pseudonyms as McNab for those who survived, but also referred to Phillips, Lane and Consiglio by their real names. Ratcliffe said of this move that it was "insensitive" for Mitchell and Armstrong "to hide behind pseudonyms when they named their dead colleagues in their books, in deliberate contravention of the Regiment's traditions." The book was released in 1995.
   In 1973, Glidrose permitted publication of John Pearson's fictional biography of Bond entitled "". This book, written in the first person, posits that Bond was a real person about whom Ian Fleming wrote a series of adventures. This is the only Bond work where the author shares copyright with Glidrose.
   The Cold War epic "Red Storm Rising" (1986) was co-written (according to Clancy in the book's foreword) with fellow military-oriented author Larry Bond. The book was published by Putnam and sold almost a million copies within its first year. Clancy became the cornerstone of a publishing list by Putnam which emphasized authors like Clancy who would produce annually. His publisher, Phyllis E. Grann, called these "repeaters."

   Since Fleming's death a number of other authors have written continuation works. Some of these have been novelizations of episodes in the series of "Bond" films, produced by Eon Productions, while others were either continuation novels or short stories. The first author was Kingsley Amis, writing under the pseudonym of "Robert Markham" who produced one novel; then came novelist and biographer John Pearson who wrote a fictional biography of Bond. Novelist and screenwriter Christopher Wood wrote two novelizations in the late 1970s. Writer John Gardner was asked to continue the series by copyright holders Ian Fleming Publications and, between 1981 and 1996, he wrote fourteen novels and two novelizations. After Gardner retired due to ill health, author Raymond Benson continued the stories and wrote six "Bond" novels, three novelizations and three short stories between 1996 and 2002.
