Summary: Agree-- not up to par with earlier works
Review: The writing wasn't up to par and it bothered me that special operations people are portrayed as above the law. What's the point in having a military if they break the law? For more realistic spec-ops action try Bob Mayer's Special Forces series or Andy McNabb's SAS books.

Summary: Second hand copy for sale - only 300 pages used.
Review: Gave up after about 280 pages - no research done at all. Mr Clancy should use some of his money to take a trip to some of the places he set the action. There is no ambassador in Geneva (Bern is the capital of Switzerland). Bern airport is a well mown field. BA do not fly to Bern. There is no highway from the airport to the town. There are no school near banks in the centre of Bern. Etc. (see review regarding Sydney also) In this day and age why does the guy have to smoke (a pipe) after operations. I echo other reviews about the length of the book - could have been written in half the number of words. Unless you think Clancy is the ONLY writer on the planet don't buy this book - if sales are low enough maybe he will try harder next time.

Summary: Glorification of Government Illegal Activity
Review: This book is not up to the standards of previous Tom Clancy novels. The technical research is not nearly up to the standard of Hunt for Red October and his other novels. In addition there are several references that suggest that not only is gun control good, but illeagal activity by government agencies is necessary and acceptable. The end of the book glorifies a government agency violating the territory of another nation, and murdering United States citizens. Considering what our government has done on its own the past few years I do not enjoy reading books that claim the end justifies the means. I had come to expect more from Clancy's books, but do not intend to waste my money on another one.

Summary: Tom Clancy at his Best
Review: Tom Clancys techno thriller Rainbow Six is among one of the finest books I have ever and will ever read it will live on in the minds of readers for years to come. Tom Clancy makes his charachters deep interesting people with whom you can really relate to on a more personal level. It is one of the greatest books ever and I encourage people all over the country to read this excellent novel.

Summary: A good read with chilling implications to real life . . .
Review: Clancy does it again with Rainbow Six. This story is about Clancy's dark super-spook, John Clark, and his international counter-terrorism team. One plot line in this story portrays an effort to loose a deadly virus into the world. This aspect is quite sobering because of its real-world implications.A good read -- and well worth the price. . .

Summary: Not up to par.
Review: I can't really say exactly what I think keeps this book from being as excellent as Clancy's previous works (especially Red Storm Rising, Without Remorse, Executive Orders) and I don't want to spend an hour theorizing as to why I feel this way. The book just isn't up to the standard that I have come to expect from Clancy, and by the way I love the long-winded detail oriented expanations and descriptions typical of his novels. Clancy is the master of the genre, no doubt, in my opinion. I don't care for the "team concept" that Clancy uses here and in his recent co-authored works. I also didn't buy the attempted hijacking of the airliner. What are the chances that several members of a new, international anti-terrorist team would just happen to be on the only aircraft in recent times to be hijacked? There were other things that I felt were incongruous, which I certainly didn't expect from this author. There are many good parts in this book but not enough to save it from mediocrity. Well, at least I have Patriot Games and The Hunt for Red October left to read from this great author.

Summary: Not his best, but definately up there
Review: Personally, I thought that this was the second best of his books that I've read (I haven't read all of them, mind you). The only one better is The Sum of All Fears. Rainbow Six was intense, exciting, if a little drawn out.
