Summary: Don't hug that tree!
Review: After his lackluster "Executive Orders," Clancy returns to form with this New World Order thriller. He exposes the extreme fringe of the radical environmentalist movement (aka Earth First) and the danger they pose to normal, sensible Americans. If you read a bad review of this book, it will likely be from one of the crowd who wants to return to the days of horse drawn carriages and meals of lettuce and carrots. Love the way he jabs at the contradictions so inherent in the left liberal enviro movement. This one WON'T be on Al Gore's reading list!

Summary: Simply incredible.
Review: I read the preview of Rainbow Six in a PC Gamer, and after getting a taste of it, I had to buy it. I really recommend this book to anyone, yet it flaws too much detail.

Summary: TERRIBLE-- save money and but THE OMEGA MISSILE
Review: Clancy has been losing it for his last several books and this continues the trend. You want a good thriller read Joe Dalton's THE OMEGA MISSILE or Stephen Coonts latest offering.

Summary: Tom Clancy Gets Better and Better!
Review: I've been a fan of Tom Clancy's work since his first book. He just gets better at writing and at capturing his reader's attention and interest. With Rainbow Six, I realized that I couldn't put the book down and when I did, I couldn't wait to get back to it to find out what the Six team were doing. That's because Tom Clancy has mastered the art of giving detailed scenes and background information without boring the reader as sometimes was the case in his previous books. I enjoyed very much reading Rainbow Six and getting to know better John Clark and his family. However, I cannot wait to read more about what Jack Ryan is doing as the President! I am very much looking forward to reading that story.

Summary: Recommended
Review: John Clark is the ex-Nacy SEAL from the book "Without Remorse". He continues his secret operational missions by creating the a group the governments of the world keep "in the black". Few people know of its existence. John is head of RAINBOW SIX. They are better than the best! They combat terrorism mostly. They are called in when no one else can handle the job. To save the lives of hostages, they "take down" the terrorists. Forget prisoners! When Rainbow Six goes in it is eliminate! The hostages are their only concern. Of course, terrorism is not the only thing Rainbow Six combats, but it is the biggest. ***Tom Clancy brings it all to life! Not only are you riveted to your seat by the action and efficiency of the team (which is made up of several nationalities) but by the plot which slowly comes to a boil between it all. I highly recommend this one!***

Summary: Too much inconsequential detail. This book really drags.
Review: Bought Rainbow Six and had high expectations. Expected a fast paced and action packed read, similar to Clancy's earlier novels (Hunt for Red October, Cardinal of the Kremlin, et al.) but got just the opposite. The novel drags as a result of Clancy's painstaking descriptions of the inconsequential. The book could be edited at least in half, or maybe two thirds could be edited away and the story line wouldn't much suffer.
Rating:
Summary: very good story line but too much personal analysis
Review: While the story line kept me reading and reading, the fact that Clancy takes 740 pages to write what could have been written in 500 pages meant that I did a lot of speed reading. He tends to try and get too deep into the minds, backgrounds, and feelings of many of the characters rather than getting on with the story line.

Summary: Clancy wrote this?
Review: By far one of Clancy's worst novels. Is it me or has Clancy fallen into a formulaic style now? It's not even the formula of the book that is disheartening -- it's the grammatical, spelling, and general mistakes that makes this book bad. My general feeling was that this book was rushed to the press and not enough edits were done to it. Aside for the glowing errors in the book, the book is too fluffy. The ending is too neat. And there is just too much "stuff" added in the book to make it longer. The "bad guys" in the book are way too crazy and the "good guys" are way too good. Stock characters, stock story, and bad writing. Shame on you Tom. I hope Clancy's next book is better than this.

Summary: Complete Waste of Time!
Review: The last time I will pre-order a release. I will wait for review from Amazon.com purchasers as most are on target with their assessment of this disappointing offering.
Rating:
Summary: Incredibly convoluted stupidity
Review: While the book is well written, its plot is so far-fetched that no matter how good the details (and they are good) I was never able to filter out the voice in the back of my head that kept saying "This is really stupid!".
