Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Really Good
Review: This is one of Clancy's best and should be read by all of his fans. Though it is long (Almost 900 pages) it does read fast and for the most part is interesting. Some parts drag but these are far and few. If you have read Clancy before or want to reading him than this is the book. If you really like it try the game titled likewise and the sequel Rogue Spear both of these while not having many of the same people or missions are just as good

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: more stuff than just on the surface
Review: Good book with a non-trivial plot. The only problems I have are multi-page boring journeys into beer drinking details and family matters.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: No pot of gold at the end of this "Rainbow"
Review: It seems as though this has been done before. The same ideas, format, novel progression, and hokey idealistic themes are present here that have been in the "Op-Center" drivel, only stretched out to 700 pages. The only thing that this book has to offer is Clancy's detailed explaination of some of today's newer gadgetry. In fact, if one were to review some of the earlier novels and compare it to this book, one would have to wonder if Clancy wrote this himself or if he hired a ghost writer to do it for him. If you must read this book because you have been a Clancy fan, like myself, be sure to buy the cheapest paperback that you can find so that your disappointment can be minimized.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: An Enjoyable Read
Review: This was a very exciting Tom Clancy Novel. A great book about counter-terrorism. It was nice to have a break from Jack Ryan, whom I do love, and focus on Mr. Clark and company. Its a long book, but it reads fast. A good read indeed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Thought Provoking "It could really happen!"
Review: This is another of Mr Clancy's excellent series of books which, typically for him, entertains, educates and treats hypotension all at the same time. The true beauty of this and all of this series of books is that you can actually learn interesting things while escaping the four walls that surround you. The only pity is that Clancy isn't one of a series of clones so that more books can become available faster. If you can't enjoy this book, you must have a flat brain wave and no pulse.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: CLANCY IS THE KING!
Review: This book was outstanding! I loved every single page of this incredible story. I read this book the summer it came out during that time the embassies in Africa were bombed, Rainbow was looking very good about then. This book has one of the best storylines i have ever seen! It makes you think if we really have a group like this out there i think it would be a good idea. They aree probably operating right now......and we would never know. If one of them is reading this keep up the good work.....

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The problem
Review: with Clancy is that he is writing about things second-hand. There's on doubt that on Hunt For Red October he had a lot of help from instructors at the Naval Academy. Now he thinks he's too good for those who wear the uniform. You want some good thrillers? check out Andy McNabb, Bob Mayer, Greg Donegan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 900 pages and totally enjoyable!
Review: Though a bit long winded, the book was still enjoyable throughout. I never found myself wishing that it would end, in fact I'm unhappy now that it has. Clancy proves with this book that he is one of the best story tellers of our time. He used his usual form of many seemingly unconnected twists that in the end all came together and made perfect sense. That is why all 900 pages were fun to read. As for the plot, it was the BEST I've read this year.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Down the tubes
Review: This book is even worse that "Executive Orders", and that is really saying something. And it's too bad, because Clancy is still capable of writing fanastic action scenes. But Clancy isn't writing technothrillers anymore-- he's writing moron right-wing screeds that should embarass anyone who once called himself a Clancy fan.

In this one Clancy has yet another pathetic woman who messes everything up, and yet another terrorists-release-virus-to-kill-everyone plot. I can't believe he had the guts to recycle that from "EO", and I was in even greater disbelief when he has the president of the Sierra Club thinking out loud how great it would be if the President got himself assassinated. That's just pathetic, such a lazy cheap shot that I can't believe the punching bags called his editors let it slide.

The book is boring, like "EO" was, and stupid. Still, the parts where something is actually HAPPENING, the parts when the Rainbow Six team is actually going about its business, are still a blast to read. But that's maybe 5 percent of the book. The rest is just a mess.

Now that Clancy is an industry and not a writer (see his NetForce and OpCenter imprints) he apparently doesn't feel the need to put out work of the quality of "The Hunt For Red October". It's too bad. I used to look forward to Clancy's latest release with baited breath. Now I won't waste my breath. This will be the last Clancy novel I read, unless I hear that the book is under 600 pages and actually makes some sense.
