Summary: EXTREMELY GOOD!!!!!! ONE OF HIS BEST.
Review: Originally I did not want to buy the hardback edition, but I just could not resist it. I am very happy with the book. I was a little surprised that Jack Ryan was not the main character but I believe this led to better development of the characters. The overall plot was very interesting and kept me turning pages for 2 days, I could not put it down. I am very glad that Clark and Chavez are doing new and interesting things. I highly recommend Rainbow Six to everyone. Good story line, good characters and good ending. Rainbow Six may not be to everyone's liking, (see other reviews), but I thought it was great. Anyone with the slightest shred of imagination will like this book as Mr Clancy puts you RIGHT there with the men of Rainbow Six. I have read Coonts, Griffen and several other techno-thriller authors and I still find Tom Clancy at the head of the pack. Mr Clancy is THE MASTER of the techno-thriller. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!! Signed, a VERY SATISFIED READER.

Summary: Tom Clancy's Best Ever
Review: Rainbow Six is a very important novel. Although it is fictional, it tackles a very important issue, terrorism. The book was suspensful, action packed, and had many very good characters. It was hard for me to put down. An outstanding book.

Summary: This book is about a C.I.A. counter terrorism team
Review: I think RAINBOW SIX was a wonderful book.I realy think that the weapons they used were the best for the job,Hekler&Koch MP10 10m.m..I realy liked the situations also,like "WORLDPARK",or C.I.A. v.s. the I.R.A. .It realy was a great book,although a few rather repulsive parts which didn't realy mess with the story that much.I think everyone should read this book to learn how the government works these days,and how hard these situations can be.

Summary: An Incredible Disappointment
Review: Clancy has finally done it. After a long and illustrious career of writing techno-thrillers that I have enjoyed, he has finally produced a major snafu. I have been a fan of Clancy's book for the past 16 years and finally decided I have had enough.Clancy's characters are so wooden that they must have carved out while the tree is still standing. His apparent bias on Team 1 success is so blatant such that when the only time Team 2 led by UK based Covington was in action, the team got plastered. The killing of a hostage was glossed over and justified by the team as "she's going to die anyway" despite the obvious fact that it was an action prompted by the team's psychologist decision to push the terrorist. How obscene. Clancy obviously needs new material because repetition is getting obvious as you go through the book. I simply couldn't wait to finish so that I could recycle the book and save some trees. A complete waste of time.

Summary: Clancy has done it again!
Review: Again Clancy amazed me also with his Net Force series. Rainbow 6 in my opinion is his best book yet! His writing makes you feel like you are there in this EXCITING Action/Adventure
Rating:
Summary: This was the best book I have ever read.
Review: This book was probably the pinical of Tom Clancy's writing career. Though I don't doubt that he could write a better book, I think that this book will never be rivaled by other writers.

Summary: Conservative, Republican wet dream....what rubbish!
Review: Only Clancy has the knack for making me wince in utter incredulity at the political agenda he puts forth. Never ashamed to wear his politics on his sleave (in blinding illumination) the plot of his latest effort is about as believable as me telling you I don't inhale. Opportunities abound for these supposed good guys to take prisoners and deal out justice through the court systems. Instead, we get hammered with very descriptive narratives of what happens when a hollow point bullet meets a human skull. Mashed potatoes. This is vigilanteism at it's apex. What concerns me more is his choice of villain. Anybody that shows a deep concern about any kind of environmental issue is called a "tree hugger" and shown to be a bumbling Oaf. I know it's hard when you're as conservative as Clancy to write objectively about issues you oppose but to be so blatently Republican is just very abusive and downright mean spirited. Do yourself a favor, stay away from this book and at an overlong 740 pages maybe you'll save a few trees in the process.

Summary: One of the best.
Review: This book is perfect for you if you like action and adventure. This book reminds me of Richard Marcinko's "Rogue Warrior" series and I highly reccomend them both.
Rating:
Summary: Great story, lots of action, and VERY exciting!
Review: Mr. Clancy is an excellent writer and he continues to put out great books like Rainbow 6. His writing style makes you feel like you are with the team on their missions. I highly recommend this book to anyone! Buy it!

Summary: Missing references to a President; an opinion?..8^)
Review: Another great book from Mr Clancy. Very much enjoyed the visit with Mr Clark & company. Since I remember only one reference to "Jack" (as President), could this omission be a subtle hint about our own current mess in Washington? I especially liked the ending of this book and look forward to seeing Mr Popov in a future novel. Interesting character.
