At its heart is ex-Navy SEAL John Clark, now the newly named head of Rainbow, an international task force dedicated to combating terrorism. In a trial by fire, Clark is confronted with a violent chain of seemingly separate international incidents.

Tommy Clancy is an impressive story-teller and I really like his work....BUT he’s also a major word glutton and very promiscuous with regards to the sheer volume of prose he pours into each tale. The man loves, loves, looooooooves him some letters and it seems he will do nothing in 5 pages of text if he can possibly coax 10 or 15 out of it. A bit more brevity if you please, sir.

That said, Clancy is a grandmaster of the big, global threatening, spy-guy thriller and he packs plenty of...more

I found this very enjoyable. Tom Clancy writes an excellent espionage novel here. It is unfortunately somewhat predictable, but it still was exciting and a refreshingly quick read. It is very detailed story, not only the events (truly Julius Caesar was right when he said "In war, events of importance are the result of trivial causes"), but the technical information as well. Clancy puts himself easily into the shoes of the various characters even though many of them are diverse and have...more

This is honestly one of the best books I have ever read, and I haven't even finished the book yet. However I wouldn't recommend this book to everyone. The weak stomached should probably refrain from picking up this book due to the gruesome descriptions and depictions the acclaimed author and ex-NAVY SEAL gives during the book. One of the main reasons why I really kike this book is because a clear and vivid image of what is going on can be created so easily and the strategy that is behind every m...more

As part of the new post–Cold War world, terrorism is rising to be a major area of threat, as evidenced from Clancy's two earlier books, and also from our world situation today. In response to this threat, Clark, with the endorsement of President Ryan (who basically doesn't figure in the book), starts a special international squad, Rainbow, of highly trained special-operations troops to be a terrorism response squad. Joining him are Chavez, another of Clancy's favorite characters, and a broad cast of troops from the US, Britain, and other NATO countries.

They are quickly put to the test. Terrorist activity first at a bank in Zurich, and then at the home of a prominent businessman in Austria give the team a chance to show what they are worth. They carefully coreograph a response and decisively put down both incidents. Their third response is to a terrorist takeover of WorldPark (a EuroDisney immitation), and again their action is impressive and decisive. Each episode is full of Clancy's vivid descriptions of tactical maneauvers, technological advances, and personal stories. Vintage Clancy.

Part of the impetus behind these terrorist attacks is coming from John Brightling, head of Horizon Corporation. Brightling and a group he calls the Project are out change the world. They want to eliminate all but a chosen few humans from the planet, in what they see as the only way to save the Earth from human destruction. To do this, they want to raise global awareness of terrorism, in order to get their guy a consulting contract for the upcoming Olympic Games in Australia. That will be their delivery point of Shiva, an engineered form of Ebola that will spread from there throughout the world. Once the outbreak is known, Horizion plans to step in with a "vaccine" that is actually a virulent form of Shiva, thereby infecting most of those who haven't yet been reached with the epidemic. Only their own people and those they deem worthy get the real vaccine.

The last terrorist attack they plan before the Olympics is a direct attack at Rainbow, which they see as a threat to the success of their plan. So they carefully set up an ambush of Clark's wife and daughter (Chavez's wife) at their place of employment, the hospital near the base. They plan to ambush the Rainbow troops as they respond. But the plans fall apart when Noonan, the Rainbow tech-guy, disables all cell-phone communications and disables their ability to act in a coordinated fashion. Wife and daughter escape unharmed as Rainbow is again able to act decisively to counter the terrorist plot, but this time taking two losses and a few injuries in the process.

Their plan is working, until Dmitry Popov, the ex-KGB agent they have enlisted to set up the terrorist attacks, gets wind of the big picture for the Project. He is horrified by Brightling's intentions, and finds his way off of the Project facility in Kansas and heads to New York. He contacts Clark, and asks for a meet, and even though he set up the hit on Clark's wife and daughter, Clark accepts. As soon as he learns of the plot, Clark informs Chavez, who is consulting at the Olympics with a few other Rainbow troopers. They stake out the fogging system room (the planned point of deliver for the virus) and nab the Project member who is going to plant the virus.

As soon as Brightling realizes that he can't reach his man, and that things are falling apart, he orders all physical and electronic evidence destroyed, and gathers up the members who know the whole story of the Project's plans and flies them off to the Project Alternate facility in Brazil. But the FBI and Air Force are able to track the plane, and Clark decides that Rainbow will follow the planes down. Because they are sure most of the evidence has been destroyed and because they fear making the details of the plot public, FBI agents aren't sure about if the group can be successfully prosecuted, and if it should be. In face of this, Clark faces them head on, sending in his troops. He gives them an opportunity to surrender, but Brightling sends out armend men to counter the force. Using an advanced people-finding gadget that Noonan has been plaing with, Clark is able to vector in the Rainbow troops to neutralize the threat from the Project defenders. Once it becomes clear that the battle is won, Brightling and his group surrender. Instead of taking them back to the States, Clark destroys all of the facilities at the Project compound and releases the members into the jungle to try fend for themselves (to commune with nature, as he puts it).

With Rainbow Six, Clancy again demonstrates his narrative sense, as well as his ability to tell a great military story with a moderately complicated plot. He also builds some interesting and clearly flawed characters who just try to do the right thing. And the reader clearly wants to empathize with them. But there are some clear weaknesses in the book. One, a weakness that has cropped up in a few of his other novels, is torture. Clark is a character with a dark side, and torture, or the threat of it, is a necessary instrument to elicit information and serve a greater good. And at first blush, in Clancy's narrative world, that may seem true. But who should be allowed to weild this terrible sword, and decide when it's really serving a greater good. The fear that evil will win out makes it seem easy to do whatever we can, and at whatever cost, to make the good triumph. But we should never allow torture to be justified. It violates the basic humanity, of both the tortured and the torturer. And it most certainly flies in the face of our most basic Christian convictions about right and wrong, and about sin and reconciliation. Which brings up the other major flaw in Clancy's story: retribution. The one unasailable fact that seems to drive his logic as the story concludes is that the perpetrators of this ghastly plan deserve full and complete punishment for their intentions. They must be delt with, decisively. And if the law might have trouble doing that, or if we don't like all of the consequences, it's justifiable to bend the rules a bit to exact "justice" in a slightly different way. Again, the line of thinking is tempting, but it again sees retribution as good, and sees all actions toward that end as justifiable. The victims become the perpetrators in a new act of violence. Where does it end?(less)

The action scenes in Rainbow Six are excellent. Made up primarily of hostage-taking scenes, they are tense and exciting, and Clancy's writing conveys the urgency of the situation and the concerns of the protagonists well. They are spread evenly throughout the book, and they're all gripping and entertaining.

Outside of the action scenes, Clancy's prose is serviceable, for the most part, but marred by repetition, poor flow, and a tendency to ramble. One almost gets a feeling of deja vu ...more

I have read all of Tom Clancy's fiction so far and have been rarely dissappointed. I thoroughly enjoyed this entry as well, although it seems to be written at a level one notch below his usual standards. There is lots of action and lots of insights into the world of anti-terrorism but I felt one element was missing. I never found myself fearful of danger. All of the Rainbow organization are supermen with little chance of being bested. You knew they were going to win out every time; the interest ...more

As I had heard much of this prolific author and done some research about his stories, I had moderate hopes about this book. I was not disappointed.

The ninth book (by publication date) in the Jack Ryan (Ryanverse) series, Rainbow Six is very interesting. It details the attempt of a radical environmentalist group's endeavors to save the world by killing most of the earth's population. They engineer a modified strand of the Ebola virus (nicknamed Shiva) which they plan to release at the Sydney summer Olympics. To accomplish their grand plans, the group hires a former KGB officer to organize several hostage situations to raise the global awareness of terrorism. Jack Ryan (under the code name John Clark and Rainbow Six) must save the world once again with his covert team of elite forces.

Overall, this book was a fun summer read. It did not overtax my mental facilities, but it had enough techno argot that I felt like I was not completely wasting my time. The accounts of the hostage situations were intense and one was even a little sickening. I did like Clancy's humorous, although brief, accounts of Jack's "midlife crisis," when he struggles to comprehend where his youth has gone. Also, Clancy has obviously done his research in regards to pathology and psychopathology. His detailed analyses of a terrorist's thought processes are only outmatched by his meticulous account of how the environmental group engineered the Ebola.

This last description contributes to only real downfall of the book - the anticlimactic end. Clancy spends most of the book describing the effects of Shiva and how the radical group's maniacal plot will transpire. By the end of the book, I almost (sadistically) hoped that the virus might be released and cause widespread pandemonium. Instead, the book ended typically with a shootout and virtually all the "good guys" living to see another day. With the plethora of gore, violence, and (mostly gratuitous) language, this novel is nothing more than a flashy, explosive, R-rated blockbuster fata morgana - fun while it lasted but easily forgotten.(less)

Espionage is always a favorite of mine, more particularly in films than in books as it seems better a visual than what words can offer. Nonetheless I read this a few years ago because I loved the title. I think I may have played the video game, too, but not so much that I remember enjoying. It was just after the film 'The Sum of All Fears' came out and Liev Schreiber played John Clark (a mere supporting role there, whereas here the main player), and quite well.

This book left me feeling 'meh'. I planned on giving it 3 stars, but after tying it up in the last couple chapters I felt the need to downgrade. I hadn't read Tom Clancy before, so maybe he always goes into way too much detail outlining every character's thought process. Even some of the late-added crazy Environmentalists were allowed to tell me over and over how they feel that the killing of any animal is wrong, yadda yadda yadda. I got the point several hundred pages ago, thanks.

Another serving of jinjoism and macho pablum from Tom Clancy. This book is essentially a sequeal to Without Remorse, and very similar thematically to that book.

In which an incredibly silly plot by a group of Environmental Extremists is put down by a super-team of anti-terror special forces.

To be clear, this book serves one purpose: to be a compelling, easy-to-read military-themed action/adventure story. It's not great literature, but that's not its job.

There are a few annoying points with the writing: important plot points get repeated again and again; little details get unnecessary detail, to be sure that readers understand them when their actual purpose is described later; and sometimes the writing gets overdramatic.

I chose this novel because I felt that I would really enjoy reading a book that had violence and action scenes, and because the novel is written by Tom Clancy.
The main character of this novel is John Clark along with his team of elite warriors and their job is to eliminate terrorists threats that are national, European countries cannot contain. Throughout the novel, a series of terrorist’s attacks are brought on in various countries in which require Rainbow Six's (this is their squads name) special attention. However, these terrorists’ attacks are not a random series of attacks, but really a diversion from a bigger picture that is brewing in America. These terrorists’ attacks are diverting the attention from the... Well, this is something that should be revealed in the novel rather than through my comment. There are a variety of antagonists that pop up throughout the novel but the main one would be Popov, a former KGB officer for Russia who now is raising the terrorists attacks. However, Popov's character starts to change throughout the novel to a very important state, which cannot be revealed.
The central conflict is mainly man vs. man and man vs. society where John Clark is fighting terrorists (man vs. man) and the American scientists are fighting against the whole world (man vs. society). The main theme of the novel is that life is full of surprises; meet those surprises prepared and aware of the actions and consequences that will take place from the decision you make to meet those surprises. This theme is developed constantly throughout the novel and becomes apparent when a terrorist group takes kids as hostages and kills a kid in a wheelchair with a severe illness. These were not many symbols that show up within the novel except for the power of friendship and efficiency. Clancy sometimes uses literary devices like metaphors and similes to portray scenery or guns. Clancy's writing is different but interesting and really uses this to his advantage when he shows the changing of John Clark.
In the beginning of the novel, John Clark is a serious man who feels that he knows a good amount of human nature; Clark mainly stays static like this for the most part with some events that change his aspect of thinking. Throughout the novel this changes when he sees that sick, handicapped child get murdered. This event changed the mind frame of Clark and realized the ruthless side of humans and how the tolerance of humans like this should not be high. The other change that occurs with Clark is when a set of terrorists captures his wife and daughter. This triggers the anger within Clark and really pushes him to the brink of killing everyone. Overall, Clark doesn't really change much but goes through events that faze him.
As I said before, Clancy's writing is a little unique, especially when it comes to character interactions and their conversations between one another. "'Maybe,' John Clark allowed... 'Gee, thanks Mr. C,' the Team-2 leader groused... 'God damn it, John!'... 'Settle down, Domingo.'" (Clancy 122). Clancy usually uses every possible name that these characters can use as a pronoun for them. This kind of writing style makes for a confusing novel sometimes if you do not pay real close attention to the names that all of the characters use. Clancy also using the writing style of descriptive details, but not as extensive as other authors. "Dr. Archer walked over, tore a 40cc disposable out of its paper and plastic container, then inserted the needle in a glass vial of potassium-and-water solution and filled the needle by pulling a plunger. Then she returned to the bed and inserted the plunger now to give the patient a hard bolus of the lethal chemical" (219). Clancy's descriptions are not extensive and elaborate but brief and sweet. This really helped to make the novel go by quicker and still have details on the scenery and actions.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the novel and would recommend it to anyone who is willing to read a long novel because there were times when I would have liked to have quit reading the novel because of how I knew how many pages I had left. If anyone might have these feelings and know they will, I would hesitate on reading this novel then.
