In this #1 New York Times bestselling John Clark thriller, author Tom Clancy takes readers into the shadowy world of anti-terrorism and gets closer to reality than any government would care to admit...

Ex-Navy SEAL John Clark has been named the 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. 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.

Review

Praise for Rainbow Six

“Action-packed.”—The New York Times Book Review

“Gripping...bolt-action mayhem.”—People

“A thrill ride.”—USA Today

“Mr. Clancy is in his element...When the door blows open and the shooting starts, nobody does it better.”—The Dallas Morning News

More Praise for Tom Clancy

“He constantly taps the current world situation for its imminent dangers and spins them into an engrossing tale.”—The New York Times Book Review

About the Author

A little more than thirty years ago Tom Clancy was a Maryland insurance broker with a passion for naval history. Years before, he had been an English major at Baltimore’s Loyola College and had always dreamed of writing a novel. His first effort, The Hunt for Red October, sold briskly as a result of rave reviews, then catapulted onto the New York Times bestseller list after President Reagan pronounced it “the perfect yarn.” From that day forward, Clancy established himself as an undisputed master at blending exceptional realism and authenticity, intricate plotting, and razor-sharp suspense. He passed away in October 2013.

A bit too much like reality...

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2021

Verified Purchase

I read this book 15 months into the Covid pandemic: too close for comfort, given the death toll & aftermath effects. Obviously, well researched & very well written. The 'good guy' characters are noble; the 'bad guys' are painted as fanatics, sociopaths. Popov is quite interesting...not a bad sort, but possessing noble values: fortunately, those win out and help Clark, et al.
This really good action novel, however, suffers from too much realism. Our science can create such book threat, though the delivery technology is there, yet.
This is far different from the first John Clark novel. While I would like a more familiar sequel, this current book does contain the sense of connection between the 2 entries in the series...but only just.
Mr Clancy seemingly had a pet project, pet concern, which he dealt with, here.

As pertinent today as it was when it was written 20 years ago....

Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book was written about 20 years ago but it is actually about stuff that is going on today. Ebola in Africa and the Green New Deal in the US are both topics that are similar topics in the book. The book takes it a little farther, of course. Well written and keeps you engaged. Also follows up on John Clark’s wife and one of his daughters in more detail. The President of the United States is only mentioned in passing a couple of times. This is truly a book about John Clark and his family. And the job he does.

Another great Clancy story

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2018

Verified Purchase

After years working covert missions with the CIA, John Clark and his new son-in-law Domingo Chavez are heading to England with their wives to start a new mission: Clark has gotten the approval of the President (unnamed, but Jack Ryan) to start a multi-national counter-terrorism unit to be based in the UK (Ding is one of the response team leaders). Almost immediately, the unit is put into action due to an upswing of terrorist activity across Europe. What, or who, is responsible for all of these incidents and why? Why are people being kidnapped in the US and forced to undergo medical experimentation? The answers, when they come, threaten to change the world forever.

*The 2000 Sydney Olympics are a major plot thread, so that element dates the book just a bit, but otherwise things stand up well. One of my favorites in the series.

A story entirely too plausible not to give nightmares!

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2017

Verified Purchase

This well articulated story is centered on John Clark, and Ding Chavez as a new worldwide anti-terrorism force is headquartered in England, with John Clark as its leader. The group is beyond a black operation. This story details 4 major terrorist attacks, three of which are engineered by an ex KGB Colonel at the behest of a rich American business man/scientist. This is a great read!

Exciting and Excellent Read

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2014

Verified Purchase

Wonderful book!! This book tells the story of John Clark and Ding Chavez and their starting up of an international anti-terrorist unit. Instead of their usual role in the normal Jack Ryan books, they are now the main characters. The story is about the missions they take on and the way they accomplish them with the additional concurrent story of an conspiracy of biological attack on all of humanity. The story of well put together. There are no gaps and the story line flows smoothly.

But this is not the only story that has John Clark (then John Kelly) as the main character. He first appears in "Without Remorse", telling his back story. That book even has Jack Ryan's father, a police officer, in it. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that book also since it tells who he is\was and how he became a C.I.A. officer.

This book had lot of twists and turns. It kept you wanting to know what was next. I love the main character John but would have liked to know when he married Sandy and more about the other children that was only mentioned once. I hope there is a book 3.

Great Read, difficult to put down, full of action and gives room for thought of what could happen.

Was a little disappointed that John Clark had went from a young mad to and old man in just one book. But this was well written and held my interest throughout. Worth the read.

From the very beginning you are grabbed by your mind and soul. They lead you onto a journey of terror, offense and defense. Clancy is the Commander barking orders to the well trained soldiers. Twists and turns guide you up the mountain. The view from there allow you to finally experience solace. Great read....as always

Clark and Ding do their thing.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 22, 2019

Verified Purchase

It’s a Tom Clancy, what else do i say? This is over 800 pages, with action from the word go (I’m not going to give you spoilers). many of the usual Ryanverse characters are in there being true to how far their roles have moved on, this is a long way through the novel. Not his best work, and perhaps trying a little too hard, once or twice explains something already explained and I managed to guess a plot twist a little earlier than I should have, but let’s face it I started reading Clancy 30 years ago and I’m still taking them on holiday with me. One last point The “sticker” says Jack Ryan, But where is he?

Perfect escapism.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 15, 2020

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed the start and part of the middle of this book but as the plot became more convoluted I found myself beginning to struggle. I also was not wholly satisfied by what I felt was a bit of a let down of an ending. That said it fills in for me more of the backstory of John Clark prior to his joining The Campus in later books.

Possibly Tom Clancys best work, rainbow six follows the creation and operation of the worlds most elite/secretive fighting unit - Rainbow!
It’s tense, descriptive, and well written.
