- Cash-Cow Franchise: The reason for the existence of Net Force and Op Center, not to mention all the Clancy-branded video games. Heck, the entire Clancy franchise became this long ago - he sold the rights to his name and, until shortly before his passing, had ghostwriters.
- Follow the Leader: Clancy's work popularized the techno-thriller genre.
- Science Marches On: Several books set 20 Minutes into the Future make use of proposed weapons systems that never went into production, or never existed in the first place.
- What Could Have Been: A film adaptation of The Cardinal of the Kremlin was planned as the follow-up to Clear and Present Danger, but after Harrison Ford's departure from the franchise the project was put on hold and eventually canceled.
