Title : Rainbow Six
Genre : Realistic Fiction
Authors : Clancy, Tom
Reviewed by : Robert LeBeau
       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').
