About this listen

Whether hunting warlords in Japan, druglords in Colombia, or nuclear terrorists in the United States, John Clark is efficient and deadly. But even he has ghosts in his past, demons that must be exorcised. And nothing is more demonic than the peril he must face as the commander of a covert multi-national anti-terrorism squad known as Rainbow.

Almost as soon as the group is formed, three terrorist attacks occur that seem unrelated at first, but may be the beginning of a new brand of terrorism like nothing the world has ever encountered before. Their success could literally mean the end of life on this Earth as we know it.

Rainbow Six is Tom Clancy's most shocking story ever - and closer to reality than any government would care to admit.

Critic reviews

"Clancy is in his element.... When the door blows open and the shooting starts, nobody does it better." ( Dallas Morning News)
"Clancy has penned a thrilling novel, full of paranoia, intrigue, terror, and tension that you can cut with a knife. His millions of fans, as well as newcomers to the genre, will eat this one up, and deservedly so! Highly recommended." ( Barnes & Noble)
"Rainbow's engagements, which occupy the bulk of the novel, are immensely suspenseful, breathtaking combos of expertly detailed combat and primal emotion." ( Publisher's Weekly)

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

The book, yes, this narrator, no

Who was your favorite character and why?

Clark has been a favourite of mine since Without Remorse. Shame the same man is narrating that, otherwise I would have bought it.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Truly weird inflection. Very flat voice. No attempt to imbue any character with.....character! A shame, since I also bought Cardinal of the Kremlin with the same guy. He made a very exciting story dull and boring.

Did Rainbow Six inspire you to do anything?

Yes, make sure I never buy another book narrated by this man.

Any additional comments?

Yes, don't use this narrator again. Ever!

Great story, appalling narrator

Loved the book when I read it years ago so thought I would try the audio version. Still a great story but I'm afraid slightly let down by the narrator who came across slightly monotone and also couldn't pronounce the word vegan properly. Made me cringe every time I heard it.

Brilliant story

Best Clancy book by far, and, I've read a lot! How did I miss this ones publication.
The narrator did well in my opinion with reasonably clear differences between characters without attempting to recreate accurate national and regional accents.
Superb story line throughout. The tempo builds all the way through to the climax. The ending?? Well not as action packed as some, but, a nice fitting end.

First experience of audio books!

While the technical content is out dated (old school tvs), the story line and characters remain interesting even after multiple listens

Times have changed but the story remains classic
