Tom Lancy is no more

Tom Lancy is no more

P K Routray

Breathed, Tom Lancy, his last on Tuesday, the first October

His mortal remains will vanish but him the world will remember forever.

"The Cardinal of the Kremlin," "Clear and Present Danger”,

""The Sum of All Fears,"  "The Hunt for Red October"

"Without Remorse", "Red Storm Rising," "Patriot Games;

and so many his best sellers with their thrilling flames

have carved the name of Tom Lancy in the heart each of his reader

as the modern day thriller creator and the visionary story teller.

Ironing at the modern medical science, at young age of sixty six

Tom had to depart his mortal body as the cruel destiny could fix.

Express we, his ardent readers gratitude to him with grievous tear

Pray we for peace and bliss to the soul of Tom lancy the genius writer.
