Summary: AWESOME BOOK!
Review: "Rainbow Six" is a suspensful, cliff-hanging, action-packed adventure that no author other than Tom Clancy can beat. One of Clancy's gifts would most likely be his ability to glue his reader's eyes to the book, not wanting to stop, wanting to find out what happens next so much, you would sit still throughout the entire book, wondering what happens next. Clancy makes the business of writing look so easy to do. From his first novel, "The Hunt for Red October," to his latest, "Every Man a Tiger" Clancy has won readers everywhere with his kind of ability to write, and write well! This is another typical Clancy novel, as the others, suspensful and riveting to the end. Clancy's fans will most likely like this new novel, and those who have never heard of Clancy will be motivated to try Clancy's books. One of Clancy's must-reads.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hard Core Page turner
Review: Two Words: READ IT....Ok now realy it is one of Clancy's best. If you have read the book the is a awesome PC Game based on it - check it out.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Without the usual breathtaking tension..
Review: I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed in this book and in Tom Clancy (I've read them all). It seems that he starting to repeat himself, and the story is VERY predictable. One of the things I really used to like about a Tom Cancy novel was that the story was always hard to figure out, and Mr Clancy always liked to stretch the reader's fantasy and imagination. I really hope that the next one will be better, otherwise I will have to look somewhere else (maybe he should concentrate less on the games, and prepare the novels more???)

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Dull and without much merit
Review: Well, he's nuked a football stadium, biowarred the United States, fought desert storm II, put japan back to warring against us and it is no wonder this book fails miserably - what can he do for an encore? Well, he tries to drag us into a biowar two theme, but it just doesnt fly. Evil enviromentalists plot for 10 years to kill everyone but themselves to save the world - it just didnt generate any excitement.

It would have been far better had he just let the Rainbow operation work its way through it's missions and left out the end of the world stuff.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Pretty poor
Review: Tom Clancy was once my favorite author (Red Storm Rising is one of the best novels I've read). I have all his books.

But ... I read this book for the military bits and the action sequences and actually skipped over much of the dialogue. Jack Ryan, John Clark and Ding Chavez are all mirror images of each other. They all think, talk and act the same. Clancy has a shocking lack of ability to create anything other than 1 dimensional, wooden leading characters. Popov was the only interesting guy.

I ended up hoping that the bio-terrorists WOULD succeed. That would have been much more fun.

Final point: why does every British character have to say 'Quite' or 'Quite so' in every conversation???

I'll keep buying the books, but I'll be treating them more as magazine articles than novels. And I thought I saw light at the end of the tunnel when I read Exectuive Orders.

By the way, I echo other comments about reading 'Blackhawk Down' - excellent.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Simplistic, not up to Clancy's usual quality
Review: I agree with the earlier reviewer and suggest as well that you read "Blackhawk Down" or "The Triumph and the Glory" instead of this new one from Clancy. It is stale, uninspired, and tedious.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of Clancys best, I've read it again and again.
Review: A chillingly realistic main plot intertwind with breath taking action. If you're as big of a Clancy fan as I am this one is a must read. I couldn't put it down.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great and "accurate" book from a real operator...
Review: This is the first Tom Clancy novel I have read and I really liked it. I have been a tactical operator for almost 10 years and his descriptions, accounts, missions, and other aspects depicted are very realistic. Don't think that this sort of thing hasn't been thought about. I hope that a noted director makes a movie about this one...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Good Clancy
Review: I liked 'Rainbow'. Even though the main plot was hard to believe and a little anti-environmentalist, the overall plot was good. The action was well described and most of the character descriptions were well done. Clancy again makes the book by how well he describes everything in detail. How many times did he say: "the secure phone?" Thats about it, read the book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It is the best book I have read!
Review: Rainbow Six gives you action, mystery, and a whole lot more. Rainbow Six goes into detail about how rainbow six goes in and rescues hostages or how they take down terrorist even when the terrorist have a big advantage. You just don't read this book you get into it.
