Summary: Too formulaic and predictable
Review: This book is too much like the Op-Center series: It's an easy read and fairly entertaining, but it lacks imagination, intrigue, or any great characters.Rainbow Six revisits many characters from the early Clancy novels, centering on John Clark and Domingo Chavez. While they were undeveloped in the earlier Clancy novels, they remain so here even though they are the main characters. Rainbow Six is an antiterrorism team led by Clark, which could be interesting as it takes a military operation into an urban setting. However, as the team emerges from all encounters victorious, it's boring. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone that is a Tom Clancy fan. If Op-Center is your bag of tricks, you may enjoy this novel.

Summary: I just couldn't melt into this one.
Review: I've been a Clancy fan since read his "The Hunt for Red October." But I regretfully found myself losing focus during reading this one. The whole book gave me an impression that I was reading a Leggo construction plan, how to add another block onto the old ones. Of course, all the blocks were linked tightly and wouldn't fall apart, but once the sucker was completed, it looked pretty cool by Leggo standard, but it's also a creation in a rigid dumb style, no beauty at all, man. I simply failed to get myself involved from Chapter One, and this book only made me go back and pick out his "Without Remorse" off my bookshelf and reread it again. Missing something, buddy?

Summary: Rainbow Too Bad
Review: Too long. Too little action. Too many wasted words preaching Clancy's views. Too boring.

Summary: Clancy at his best!
Review: I am still speechless. I ripped through this book in three days and it is my humble opinion that it should be read by all those who love techno-thrillers, thrillers, et al. Clancy delivers once again with a great storyline that had me cringing at the thought of something like it hapenning it the real world, great characters -- I especially liked Popov and Alistair Stanley, aside from our old friends John Clark and Ding Chavez -- and his usual amount of technical detail. It is obviously a book intended to entertain, and Clancy, as always, does it incredibly well. Maybe someday we'll hear on CNN that UNICTT -- the United Nations Counter-Terrorist Team -- has been created.

Summary: Great reading for Clancy followers!
Review: Another well crafted story about covert military operations and the struggle for the good guys to stay ahead of world class terrorists. This time it's an ecoterrorist's plot on the most sinister and grandest scale. Clancy's John Clark and Ding are forced into a deadly game to uncover the terrorist's plan and stop it before the destruction of the human race is brought about. The story is well timed and not unreasonable or farfetched. I've read all his books and have found this one to be as entertaining as the rest. If you are a Clancy fan I'm sure you will agree after you've read Rainbow 6.

Summary: Classic Clancy, but clearly missing cold war clarity
Review: Once again a classic Clancy novel, with all the usual ingredients that make him a popular author. However I am a little dissapointed in this his latest thriller since I think that Tom struggled with a credible plot. I frankly find the premise of the "back to the caves" zealot plotting the destruction of humanity a bit of a stretch, and the ending is LAME!!!... I harken back to the days of "The Hunt for Red October" and my personal favorite, "Red Storm Rising" for exemplarly Clancy tales ... Tom, if you are reading this, forget present, concentrate on the past.

Summary: Tom Clancy has produced another spell-binding novel
Review: Tom Clancy is exquisite. He's done it again, with wonderfully interesting novel on terroism. At first the book was a little bit of a drag, but just like his past books it really pick up and ended with an unlikely ending. Clancy is phenomenal!
Rating:
Summary: A good read, but not a great read.
Review: This is not Clancy's best work. The last really great work was 'Executive Order.' Rainbow Six is slow moving, and the first third of the book could have been covered in about 20 pages. Overall, it was actually kind of boring. Just another terrorist attempt to use biological warfare to kill the world's population. This theme has appeared many, many times in other author's novel.

Summary: Thrilling, But some points are boring
Review: Rainbow Six is about an essembled elite team of former Foreign Country Covert Military Operatives that are at an age where they are about to retire, or retired. The team is assembled from former S.A.S (Britain) and American Delta Force, Special Forces, etc. This book had some good incidents, but some of the parts about Kilgore and Popov were somewhat boring. This book is a good book however, and I'd advise you to read it. But I'd also advise you Rent this one from the library, really not worth buying unless you collect Clancy novels. As much As I like Tom Clancy books, this one can only get 3 stars.

Summary: This book was simply awful
Review: Tom Clancy puts together a sloppy, unsuspenseful book in which you know the good guys are going to win, the lead charatures take things personal, and the huge plan to destroy the entire human race is going to be foiled. The was no excitement, nothing to keep me reading. Infact it took me over a month just to finish it cause I feel asleep everytime I tried to move a bit farther into this convoluted story. In trying to top the scare/shock/suspense factor of the past several novels in the series, we get to see a company with insanely homicidal tree huggers designing a new version of the same bug that Iran tried to use to stem population growth in the US in the last book, Executive Orders. It's a plot to destroy every one (except the treehuggers of course), and you know that they will fail just because that would end the series. No suspence, no excitement, no reason to ever read it again.
