Summary
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.

A whole series in a book!
You have to hand it to Clancy, this could easily have broken this down into a series of three books and made more money. There is so much storyline in here and yet I never felt that he was just filling it out. The story itself is genuinely thought-provoking and I would say has become more relevant with the passage of time rather than less. This is partly because unusually there is plenty of time and even at points sympathy given to the motivations and detailed methods of the "bad guys".
The main protagonists are well detailed and thoroughly rounded out, the action seems generally well thought through rather than of the simple shoot 'em up style even if there were one or two puzzling oversights by the Rainbow team that went unexplained. If there is a downside it is a slight tendency of the author to use a cliched style of representing some characters, particularly the English who say "good man" just a tad too much for example . . . This is exacerbated by the style of narration. Now I can only imagine just how difficult it is to present a 36 hour audio book but Prichard has a strong American accent and he didn't seem to be able to change pitch, tone or pace to fully represent the widely varied characters and plot devices quite enough.
That said, very glad I read it, great value for this length of compelling story and I will be back for more of Clancy's books!

Dreadful narration
Passes the time and becomes a compulsive plot as it develops but so let down by the narration. At tines the narrators attempt at the various accents was comical and the woeful attempt at the British accent for some of the characters distracted from the overall effect of the audio book.

Great story, appalling narrator
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!

Audio quality
The audio quality at the start was to be desired. For about one hour it sounded like it was only in one channel.

Check out a sample before you buy
I found the performance distracted from the story. Won't buy another by the same reader.

Well worth a listen to
Michael Pritchard read the book well. Story was a little far fetched but interesting non the less. Not the best Clancy book
