Summary: A little exciting but very far fetched
Review: Rainbow Six is a somewhat nice book but falls in a lot of nonsense and political babbling. Clancy centers more in the paranoid extreme political views of heroes and antiheroes characters using sci fi tech rather than giving attention to the special operations area. He centers very much in Clark but leaves outside other potentially interesting characters. There is also a lack of a well defined, really exciting climax point in the plot.

Summary: A great on-the-edge-of your seat espionage thriller!!
Review: Tom clancy has struck again with Rainbow 6. A twisting book with plenty of action and suspense! John Clark, the leader of Rainbow, a England based counter-terrorist strike team, believes in nothing more than strike first and strike to kill. Throughout the story his decisions against the terrorists will leave you up all night trying to finish the book. Although 4 hours of non-stop reading will only get you partially through this long epic. I could have stayed with it longer. But for all you action-suspense kind of guys and you know who you are! This is a definite addition to your late night reading collection. That is if you don't ever want to fall asleep!

Summary: Not his best
Review: I don't know if Clancy is burning out or if it's because I read Rainbow Six after enjoying competing war novel thrillers like War of the Rats and The Triumph and the Glory, but this new one from Tom falls far short of his best work. I hope the next one is better because I know I am not alone in being disappointed with his lackluster recent efforts.

Summary: Classic Tom Clancy
Review: Once again, Tom Clancy delivers. This time, John Clark and son-in-law, Ding Chavez, lead an international counter-terrorism group made up of the best commandos NATO has to offer. The story starts out as many of Clancy's stories do. The difference here is that while the previous books set the pace in an almost even rhythm, this one draws you in and feeds you just enough to keep turning the page. The plot, and oh, yes there is one, unfolds perfectly. Not too fast, not dreadfully slow. The humor is vintage Clancy. If you enjoyed "Clear and Present Danger", you will love this one. Unlike some other authors of the current techno-thriller crop, the nuts and bolts explanations don't leave you rolling your eyes and skipping ahead. The characters seem well balanced and vivid. This is the ultimate ride for this genre. In past books by this author, the "bad guys" goal and/or strategy are revealed early on and much of the time is spent just connecting the set up to the final confrontation. In this story, you really don't know for sure until much later. Some will no doubt catch on quicker than others. For me, it was a real treat to just enjoy each scene and let my imagination go running-the way a good book is supposed to do. If you've never met real-life people similar to the characters in this book, then you will no doubt wonder at some of the character idiosyncracies of some of the good and bad guys and girls in this thriller. Having spent most of my life around the military and environmental groups, it struck me as odd how Clancy was able to capture the nuance of each and bring both together in a believable scenario. Don't know much about the computer game, but this book ROCKS!

Summary: Disgusting!Why did Clancy write a book so below his standard
Review: This book was way too gory and had no suspense at all. I didn't feel it was up to Clancy's usual standards.

Summary: extremely good didn't put it don't till it was done

I like this book a little better because in it Clancy starts of the action almost immediatly while in some of his other books it started off a little slow. overall i just really like this book alot

Summary: If you like gore and madmen and no plot, get this.
Review: Clancy's latest offering is yet another decline from his high level of excellence in the eighties. Hunt for Red October, Cardinal in the Kremlin and other similar works were well researched, had well developed characters and a pace of plot development that kept things moving and exciting. Rainbow Six depends more on heads being turned into pink meat than anything else to sustain interest. It also suffers from the drag it out write as many words as you possibly can to get your point across for absolutely no reason syndrome. This is one to avoid unless you are truly an avid fan or desperately need some beach reading.

Summary: Rainbow six is a great, indepth thriller
Review: "Rainbow six", by Tom Clancy,is a catchy, graphic thriller about a highly-trained group of anti-terrorists troops which is assigned to filter-out the world terrorism. While the special ops team,(Codename Rainbow), slowly filter out groups of terrorists, they stumble apon a worldwide conspiracy that involves a virus to destroy mankind.This book is very well written, the information comes at a good rate and dosen't feel overwelming although it was very technical. The author knows his facts; his style requires it, as he describes the situations that the rainbow team encounters. Clancy's knowledge in this book ranges from firearms to advanced government strategies and tactics. Clancy's style often involves many stories that intertwine in and out as needed in the plot. The only negative aspect of the story is that sometimes there was too much action and excitement for one page to contain.

Summary: Exciting & Interesting
Review: It's the first of clancys books that I have started, but it seems to be extreemly good so far. I will probably read another of his books after this.
Rating:
Summary: Action filled but way too predictable
Review: The book catches your attention right in the beginning but towards the end it gets more and more predictable. Discribes actions and events really well and I think was worth the buy.
