Rainbow Six is a fast moving techno-thriller
that will be hard to put down, and at 800-some pages you might want
to take a few snack and drink breaks every few hours. Once
again, Clancy spins a story will chilling accuracy and frightening
realism, making the reader wonder, "Could this really happen?
Could it have happened already?"
Tom Clancy's latest novel in his popular series of books is an excellent read. Focusing on the most cold blooded characters, John Clark and Domingo Chavez, this book is filled with their forays into the world of terrorism, and their efforts to combat it. This time, though, they are not alone; a newly formed international terrorism response team (very secret for obvious reasons), under the code name Rainbow (because it's formed from many different nations) is assembled under the command of Clark himself... While you could read this book before reading the prequels, you wouldn't have the history of the main characters and you wouldn't understand some of their reasoning or some of their references to past adventures. Despite that, Rainbow Six by itself is a masterpiece of suspense, action and accuracy. Like all of his other books, it is aimed at an adult audience, though it is thoroughly enjoyable for any intelligent human with an extensive vocabulary (define 'H&K MP10' or 'Primacord'). |
