Criticism
Smain's novels are not without criticism. Tom Clancy, for instance, called them 'highly unoriginal and lacking in vocabulary, grammar or covert operations by spies'. Smain responded by claiming that Tom Clancy 'sucked'. He later amended this to claim Clancy 'really sucked'. He then attempted to throw a punch at Clancy, missed, and was arrested for being drunk, disorderly and naked. After a long time in rehab for both authors, friendships and forheads were patched up and they now intend to write a book together, called Dragons In Russia.
