Summary: Not up to this author's previous efforts.
Review: The cast of characters in this book will be familar to readers of other books by this author. The action in RB6 is good but the goal of the bad guys, who the reader KNOWS will never be reached, is too much to believe. The notion that a large group of people could conspire to pull off such a double bad deed without somebody spilling the beans is way beyond belief.

Summary: Scary Scenario
Review: Thought this was much better than his last one but still something lacking...Just couldn't give it five stars. Good group of main characters just wish I would have found out something more about them. If they are part of the plot of his next book then Clancy needs to do a better job focusing on their work not just their personalities.

Summary: toy story
Review: This story is toy-class. Written to promote software toys. I am not a gamer, but looks like the game is a brilliant piece. Old Tommy seems to let his good team of programmers down. He did a really bad novelization. Hope this lousy book wouldn't affect the sale of the game under the same title.Tommy is really an enviroment freak. I've been reading his books for about a decade. From the Red October. This book is, up to date, his best recycled job. These game programmers may have written a bot for Clancy to help him complete this book. In my opinion, a great part of this book was done by a computer from rearranging Mr. Clancy's prior works. Nice job, programmers! You gave techno-thriller a new meaning. Here we have the first book written by computers for computers. Not to mention this book is especially friendly to the LZW compressor. It's highly redundant, easy to compress! Dear O'Tommy, why don't you just let the computer do everything for you? I gave it one star, because you are involved in the making of this book. If you let your G3 computer finish this job, it will be a milestone for the artificial intelligence. With your help, I can only give you an F. No human writers should be so stupid to please the LZW algorithm instead of a regular reader. Can't wait for your next book, Tommy. Will you just let your G4/AltiVec computer to do it for you? You may ask your iMac to do your first draft, and let your G4 edit it. Just don't touch it with your hands. You may ruin it.

Summary: Not his best---but adequate
Review: I have been a long time fan of Tom's work, but this book has simply left me scratching my head---for the first 250 pages, nothing seemed to be happening, except a very slow setup. After that "short" interlude, the book did pick up steam, but following on the same theme of his prior novel, "Executive Orders", makes you wonder if Mr. Clancy has run out of "novel" ideas. The resulting ending was not as captivating as his priors, and to be honest, a little farfetched, even though this is fiction. Personally, I can hardly wait for his next book---this should give some indication where he is heading.

Summary: This book kept me awake on a night, I could not put it down
Review: I found this book a little hard to get into at first (as with other Clancy books), if this is you, persevere, it's worth it. Some of the characters are already well known from other books but even if this is the first Clancy books you've read don't worry, you'll soon get the plot. I got to parts in the book where it became impossible to put down as I became desperate to know the outcome of one of the groups missions, as with any good James Bond film, you know the good guy always win's, however Clancy paints such a vivid picture of the places and characters. In my opinion, an excellent read!

Summary: i'm bored..... (tom clancy) me too! (the reader)
Review: Any review of a new Clancy book must take into consideration his library of prior novels. Even though each new book stands alone, it can not be separated from it's brethren. When reading RB6, I kept getting the feeling that something is wrong here. After finally finishing the book, the problem hit me. Clancy is getting boring. Whereas prior novels kept getting more intense as they went on, RB6 just kept going on and on. It seems as though Clancy himself is the one getting bored with the writing, and we pay the price, (twice!). To test the thought, I re-read the last 350 pages of Debt Of Honor, a recent Clancy full novel. You're interest doesn't wane. After Red Storm Rising, Clancy's focus sharpened considerably, and hopefully he will get back on track with his next major novel.

Summary: Rainbow Six is the best Clancy book yet!!
Review: This book is the one of best books I ever read in my life. I love Clancy's writing and there aren't enough good things to say about this book.

Summary: VERY, VERY POOR!!!
Review: This is the second review I have written of this book. The first did not appear as I was unfortunately a little too strong with my opinions, for which I apologise, but this is one of the worst books I have ever read. More so because I used to really like Tom Clancy novels but this one was laughable. I spent months ploughing through it and getting continuously more and more frustrated. I was brought up in a military family and know the ins and outs of the British military fairly well, and I was also raised in Hereford. Not the SAS side of it but I do know the area well, Tom Clancy doesn't. What I found to be most annoying were the little things, his lack of knowledge of simple geographical facts e.g Hereford is not near a motorway/highway yet a major sequence is set on such a road, and London does not have 'Blocks' like US Cities. Tom Clancy was also unable to establish a decent British accent, people were either terribly posh or a farmer from Devon I would have hoped that a writer of Clancy's expierience would have been above using such stereotypes. His writing of the British military was particularly gaulling as he simply did not know his stuff, again the little things, e.g we do not have NCO Clubs!!! Yet this was a constant setting through the book, again research would have quickly and easily found this out. His writing was stifled and cliche ridden bumbling yocals saying ...(not a direct Quote) them men at the base are a different breed they walk like lions.. etc etc. I was almost laughing out loud. I hope his next book is better but lets face it, it cannot be worse.
