Rating:  - Great Introduction to Tom Clancy
Before reading Rainbow Six, I had never read a Tom Clancy novel. I had a trip planned to Fiji and wanted an action-packed, entertaining read for lazy days on the beach. I had searced on the web for "best Clancy novels" and found that this was one of his most recommended books.
That being said, I liked the book a lot. It was very entertaining and most releveant--given the global struggle against terrorism. I found that the last 150 pages of the book were a bit slow and repetitive, but all in all, highly recommended.
Rating:  - Rainbow Six is the best commando thriller to date
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six is about a commando team called Rainbow Six that fights terrorism. The military style reconnoissance, the perfect coordination of the Rainbow team, and likable and realistic characters made this book the best at what it is: a commando thriller with all of the necessary background needed to understand the story.
Rating: - A very exciting and interesting read...
This is an excellent book, combining poltical drama and all out action, however there are a few things clancey has messed up on. For example, you'll somtimes read the british soldiers saying "chaps" and smoking pipes etc. Please remember, these are SAS, the toughest fighting force in the world, do u really think they'd be smoking pipes and speaking with posh RP accents, this isnt the 1930's! Also when its summer in the west, its winter in australia, big error. However despite a few problems it is a very good book, and I highly reccommend it, i'm still giving it 5stars.
Rating: - For those who've played the game
I've been playing the videogames based on Tom Clancy's novels for years, but had never picked up one of his books. Well, after reading 'Without Remorse' (which I HIGHLY suggest), I decided that I might as well read the book that one of my favorite videogame series of all time is based on, Rainbow Six.
Reading this book definitely has increased my enjoyment of the game, because it makes all the character much more personal. There's not much else to say that already hasn't been said, though I will say that the plot is actually quite believable, and therefore quite frightening. The only people who might not like this book are staunch environmentalists. Other than that, if you're a Clancy fan, especially of the videogames, I highly recommend this book.
Rating:  - Pretty bad book
While my expectations were much higher for this book, I did get a good laugh at the end. Other than that, I wrote the story about 100 pages in, the political rambling on various topics got old really quick, and the perfection of the Rainbow group was boring. Also, I felt that the characters were never really developed. I'd skip this one and read Without Remorse instead.
