Over the course of nine novels, Tom Clancy’s “genius for big, compelling plots” and his “natural narrative gift” (The New York Times Magazine) have mesmerized hundreds of millions of readers and established him as one of the preeminent storytellers of our time. Rainbow Six, however, goes beyond anything he has done before.

At its heart is John Clark, the ex-Navy SEAL of Without Remorse, well known from several of Clancy's novels as a master of secret operational missions. Whether hunting warlords in Japan, druglords in Colombia, or nuclear terrorists in the United States, 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 in Rainbow Six.

Newly named the head of an international task force dedicated to combating terrorism, Clark is looking forward to getting his teeth into a new mission, but the opportunities start coming thicker and faster than anyone could have expected: an incident at a Swiss bank, the kidnapping of an international trader in Germany, a terrible raid on an amusement park in Spain.

Each episode seems separate, discrete, yet the timing disturbs Clark. Is there a connection? Is he being tested? With the help of his close associates, executive officer Alistair Stanley and strike team leaders Domingo Chavez and Peter Covington, Clark tries to figure out where all this activity is heading, but there is no way to predict the real threat: a group of terrorists like none the world has ever encountered, a band of men and women so extreme that their success could literally mean the end of life on Earth as we know it.

From the literary genius of renowned Best-Selling Author Tom Clancy, comes an explosive chapter in the fictional geo/political world of covert intelligence, black ops and radical international terrorism. In an era of unprecedented global instability with the emergence of cunning and violent non-state sponsored extremist groups, the United States and Allied nations have been plunged into a deadly chess game of good versus evil and the stakes are life and death. With the cancerous scourge of terror festering in virtually every corner of the globe, malevolent foes lie in wait ready to strike from the shadows using the psychological camouflage of denial, complacency and political correctness on the part of their unsuspecting victims. The remedy to this lethal virus demands an equally daring and direct response.
Enter “Rainbow Six,” a multi-national covert counter-terrorism team led by former Navy Seal John Clark, the team’s founder and commanding officer. Comprised of six elite teams of Non-Commissioned Officers from American, British, German and Israeli anti-terror units, the organization is the tip-of-the spear when diabolical terrorist factions threaten the innocent and defenseless anywhere on Earth. The valiant band of Night Stalkers, Tactical Assault Commandos and Intelligence Operatives are the cream of the crop when the situation requires decisive and direct action. Whether rescuing bank hostages, or battling the Provisional IRA in a hospital under siege, this crack team’s mission success is beyond reproach and their skills unmatched. Unfortunately, when a sinister Eco-Terrorist group rears its ugly head in a plot to eliminate all human life on Earth, Team Rainbow must spring into action in a desperate race against time in what will become the mission of their lives.
Published in 1998, the late Clancy delivers an engaging, true-to-life and honest portrait of the counter-terrorist operative; who willingly accepts the perils of living a dangerous life, in a clandestine world of deception and intrigue, where lives hang precariously in the balance with no margin for error and no time to negotiate. This novel would make a great summer Blockbuster!

Without Remorse was suppose to be the intro, the only true tie was the main character’s name. Huge hole in the lineage. Time mattered little in the story as the main protagonists were at once in their 20’s and nearing middle age. Was popov the same Russian John captured in book one kept waiting for that link

Enjoyed the personal experiences of the good guys. Still a difficult task with all the characters to determine who where the bad or good guys.
My preference it stick with one name for each character instead of using the last name, a call sign name and the first name, especially when there are 2 crews on the good side and a bunch of bad guys and some sub contractors. All in all I enjoyed the story.

3.0 out of 5 stars Familiar stuff.
Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 1998

Tom Clancy's recent novels have been much too wordy. Nearly all would have been improved by being a few hundred pages shorter. Someone must have gotten the message to Clancy (or he figured it out himself), because this book is just a little over 700 pages -- brief by recent Clancy standards. And the novel's pacing and general tone do benefit from this brevity. That's the good news.
The bad news is that there's not much here that's new. The central characters are people we know well from previous novels (John Clark and Domingo Chavez), and we don't learn anything new about them here. The sides of their personalities that we see are those we already know well. Familiar and comfortable, yes; revealing or enlightening, no.
The plot elements are mostly recycled, too. The main threat to Life As We Know It is the Ebola virus that was used in Executive Orders. It's been beefed up in a bio-lab to make it easier to spread, but it's not really new. There is also a personal vengeance subplot involving Clark that is similar to the one in Without Remorse, with a similar resolution -- Clark takes the law into his own hands in a mildly creative way. There's more, but nearly all of it fits the pattern: Clancy is reworking materials he's already used.
Another problem with this novel is that the character development of the primary villains is unusually weak, which takes much of the starch out of the good-vs.-evil struggle. These people -- based on the little we learn of them -- are very shallow, even by the normal standards of the Clancy actiontechnothriller genre. Their motivations have minimal credibility, because we just don't know them well enough to find the outlandish things they do very believable.
So, bottom line, this is a pleasant and diverting read but does not engage and satisfy the way the earlier novels do. It's vintage Clancy, but not very original within its genre. All of Clancy's novels make for enjoyable reading, but if you have to skip one, this is the one you'll miss the least.

This was one of the first Tom Clancy books I read. I couldn’t put it down. It went out of print. Now back again and it’s still a very good read and even more troubling after the Covid Pandemic!! Still a compelling read. I have since read all Clancys books. A must read.
