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 and well-known from several of Clancy's novels as "the dark side of Jack Ryan," the man who conducts the secret operational missions Ryan can have no part of. 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: a group of terrorists like none the world has ever encountered before, a band of men and women so extreme that their success could literally mean the
Editorial : No one would have blamed David Dukes if he had declined reading for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six. Not only is "Rainbow" a melting pot of secret-agent patois, but the 700-page-plus book version runs at a rampant pace--this despite the usual wealth of Clancy detail. But actor and audio pro Dukes (and the editor responsible for condensing the script onto six hours of tape) handles this daunting task admirably, applying a steady--but not urgent--Everyman's tone and imparting a sense that we're hearing the whole story.

Dukes also bounces seamlessly among dialects, giving distinct but easy-to-understand voices to Rainbow, a colorful cast of international good guys assembled to save the world from terrorism. The group is led by a sometimes violent but justice-minded ex-CIA agent, John Clark, who is proof that Clancy can paint a dark protagonist as vividly as his good knight, Jack Ryan. But Rainbow Six
The previous paperback edition included only a few of these prints; this edition includes more of these prints and so gives the reader more insight into a fascinating subject. Love the new cook book and how well the condition is of the book for as cheap as I got it. With some of the more trendy and popular travel destinations people junket to these days, where the "rules of civilization and law" are not always enforced, and some folks become kidnapped for fun or ransome, the chapters in the military version on evasion and resistance could be useful.
Best of luck to any reader.. Where the Shadows Linger is a great follow-up to In The Blood of Greeks.
Where the latter sped along at breakneck speed giving you an exciting story
with some glimpses of what lies beneath in Eva and Zoe, WSL crafts an
intriguing story that will keep you turning pages as quickly as you can, but
it also gives you a more in-depth portrayal of its main players. HE GIVES COURAGE, HOPE,
