Summary: Tired Propoganda -- Clancy's Worst Yet
Review: I have enjoyed most of Clancy's books, especially liking his characters Jack Ryan & John Clark. Normally, I would give a Clancy novel 3 to 5 stars. This one, however, doesn't deserve that many. In order to showcase elite anti-terrorist training, he invents a bunch of eco-terrorists, modeled after the Red Brigades of decades past. Clancy uses this vehicle to preach the anti-environmentalist rhetoric that our current "president" espouses. While I have not come to expect a progressive, or even a "Liberal" viewpoint from Clancy, it surprises me that he stooped to illegitimate smear tactics. Had he bothered to do even a little bit of research, he would have found that eco-terrorism is a construct perpetrated only by those who wish to marginalize the environmentally concerned. Congratulations, Mr. Clancy, you have continued the smear campaign. Your Corporate Masters must be quite proud of you. The novel is too long--I got the impression he was getting paid by the word. The action scenes continue to be dramatic although formulaic. This will probably be the last Clancy book I read--he isn't producing anything really new, but I can return to Patriot Games, Hunt for Red October, and Without Remorse; although perhaps Mr. Bush will make Red Storm Rising relevant again. Three stars for story, none for character development, negative stars for becoming a propoganda instrument. If I could give fewer than one star, I would. Buy something else--you deserve value for your money. (If you have strong feelings about this review, please click on the "about me" link above & drop me an email. Thanks!)

Summary: One of the best novels ever
Review: Rainbow six had me captured in it from the first few pages. Tom Clancy has written what I feel to be one of the best novels I have ever read. I thought his use other cultures and psycology were brilliant, never have a read a novel that uses so much detail without losing the interest of the reader. It is easy to be immersed in the character's emotions, for example Chavez's long wait before rainbow's first mission. I could identify with most of the characters (probably Weber the most). I highly recommend anyone reading this to purchase this novel, you won't be dissapointed.

Summary: Simply, Turned A Drudgery Book To READ Into An WOW STORY
Review: I borrowed the full version book from the libuary and tried to read it but fell asleep about 12 times and never finished. So I tried the audio CD, and wow, it was sooo much better. David Duke does an excellent job doing a unique voice for each individual character and clear and crisp narration of the story, to the point that you can imagine a movie about this going inside your head with vivid (but not boring) details of almost everything. The story itself is pretty good too (but only possibly enjoyed by those with some knowledge or interest in military or policing matters). Its about the interesting and intricate formation an international black ops anti-terrorist Unit called Rainbow. The units go around the world stopping terrorist incidents-but thats not all or else it would be a boring story. In all the terrorist incidents Rainbow gets into involves this world wide conspiricy run by an American Company to -lets just say make the world a little more Green (not giving it away). So this story is really good all the way from an interesting creation story of covert gov. unit to a multifaceted sorta spy's detective story with everything imaginable with spies, trickery, FBI, defectors and etc. So if ya like suspense and military related fiction definitly, skip the book and get the Audio CD- ENJOY.

Summary: Perfect
Review: This book is one of Clancy's best by far. Very descriptive and entertaining as well. The book read fast considering the size. I found myself not being able to put it down. Clancy didnt over do himself with too much dialogue, but i did find myself wanting to read about more missions. Clancy kept the book exciting, Intriguing and to the point, plus explaining important topics about mission essentials was detailed and not over done. If you're not familiar with this type of job, Clancy makes it very understandable. I too would like to see a movie about special operations, like some of the reviewers have mentioned. Tom Clancy is the only person that i would vote for to help with a real-world special ops type of film.

Summary: A Few Flaws
Review: I think this book was pretty entertaining in general. There were a few flaws in the book, but the action was what brought the rating up. One major flaw that really annoyed me was that the "good guys" would never make mistakes while the "bad guys" made their mistakes at the most crucial moments. As with almost all of Tom Clancy's novels, the Americans were the good guys. The good guys had to be completely "good" while the bad guys were really greedy and rather stupid. The action sequences that took place were the good parts of the story. It really is a page-tuner despite the flaw that the good guys were totally perfect while the bad guys made many crucial mistakes. I also think that the suspense in the book was pretty good. In my opinion, the theme of this novel is that not everything is as it seems. The reason to that is because of the conspiracy that goes on in the story. I would recommend this book to people who like to read some exciting action sequences and can live with the unrealistic character stereotype.

Summary: Good Ideas, Poor Execution.
Review: Well, this book isn't bad. In fact it's quite thrilling. BUT once I finished reading it I had a funny feeling. The plot is nice but the way the plot elements are linked kept me wondering. Some parts are very odd and unnatural and when you read them you understand that they exist for the sole purpose of connecting the story to more important parts. For example, the environmentalists organised all that terrorism activity so that their company is invited to supervise Sydney 2000 security so that they can have access to air-conditioning system so that they could launch their virus. Excuse me, but why on earth were they so certain that it would be THEIR security company and not some other? That's just one silly thing and there are many other similar points. Anyway, if you don't mind all those technical points of good storytelling, Rainbow Six isn't that bad. At least the Russians are finally the good guys.
