Summary: A Great Read!
Review: I actually prefer some of Clancy's earlier works, like "Red Storm Rising" and "Hunt for Red October", but this is a great read nonetheless. Some people may be put off by characterizing radical environmentalists as the villians, but it wasn't too long ago that the Unabomber was trying to save the Earth no matter what the human cost. Clancy's heroes are so engaging because they are just that, heroes. They aren't spineless losers wallowing in self doubt like the dubious main characters in so much literature these days. Well done, Tom.

Summary: Great Story but tedious, repetitive, and trite dialog
Review: I liked it as I do most of Tom Clancy's books. The story is spellbinding. I thought the dialog was repetitive. Characters made statements and 20 pages later the same thing was repeated verbatim. I think Mr. Clancy was either trying to make the book thick or needs a new editor.

Summary: very good from one of the greats
Review: I just finished Rainbow Six and my wife is greatful. Most of the book is the intricate, high-tech, cerebral thriller one expects of Clancy. The ending, however, fizzles somewhat despite the nice twist on the last 2 pages.

Summary: Irony at it's best
Review: As an avid fan of Clancy, I was a little disappointed at this effort that could have used 350 pages to tell the story. I guess the irony against the tree-huggers is that he killed a heck of a lot of trees to use as wasted paper. Pretty good joke....

Summary: very predictable
Review: If this is the first book of Clancy that you are about to read, pick another one. This is the worst book he has written. The book has about 300 to 400 pages more that it should. Most of Clancey's books have enough exiting and intriguing areas to outweigh the slow areas, but not this time. I had to be very determined to finish this book.

Summary: Very Disappointed w/Latest Clancy Work
Review: I have read every one of Clancy's novels up until now. However, Rainbow Six and Executive Orders were mediocre at best. I sense that Tom may not have any more good ideas to use now that the Soviet Union is gone and he has taken his other hero Jack Ryan all the way to the White House. As for John Clark, well I think Clancy should have stopped at Without Remorse.

Summary: Delete the redundancies and the book is 1/2 as long.
Review: Clancy seems to have written several chapters, all independently of eachother. Then he put them all together in some order to create this book (screenplay?). He repeats over and over again the exact same words, phrases, and thoughts throughout the book. After you finish skipping half the book, as you go through it page-by-page, you will find yourself bored.This would be a good Clancy to skip!

Summary: Do yourself a favor and don't read this.
Review: All the things that made Red October and Red Storm Rising great are missing here (feasability of the plot, attention to detail, exploring new areas). How long can an author get by on his past accomplishments ? Tom Clancy has become interested only in becoming a revenue machine, putting his name in a series of products of very debious quality. This is sad comming from a man who's main character stopped trading in stocks because he become bored with making money and wanted to do something meaningful with his life.

Summary: A Nice Side Story
Review: After Sum of All Fears one did not know whether Clancy would write another book about the Jack Ryan storyline. Then came Executive Orders, and at the end one was again asking the question if he could continue the storyline. In Rainbow Six Clancy decides to give the reader a well deserved break from Jack Ryan and focuses on Clark and Chavez. The anti terrorist storyline works very well, although a little similar to OpCenter. He is able to immerse you again into his universe and feel like you are in every situation. One of his best books and I can't wait to see where the series goes next.

Summary: Good Read.
Review: This book is an entertaining read. I will admit that the numerous negative reviews led me to approach this book with less than enthusiasm. While this book is not as good as many of Clancy's other books, my favorites being Cardinal and Without Remorse it is an exciting read. I have no problem with Clancy placing his political beliefs into the story as all authors tend to do this. Whether or not you agree with Clancy, you can enjoy this tale. While the "tree huggers" were exaggerated the reader has to realize that they were the villians of this book and after all the book is fiction. Clancy did repeat himself too often with certain phrases but this did not overly affect the story for me. After this book Tom Clancy will remain on my automatic read list.
