Title: Stick a fork in him - Clancy's done.
Review: Clancy has clearly gotten full of himself over the last few years, and it shows in this book -- it seems hastily written, with many continuity errors and few attempts at creating the plot intricacies or action excitement that his first five books did. The characters in Rainbow Six are all one-dimensional, cookie-cutter stereotypes. They even all think and speak the same way, with the same key phrases and idioms, which becomes intensely aggravating after a few chapters. The plot is thin, and depends on several chance occurrences or perfect deductive reasoning by the good guys to move along. I loved Clancy's early works, but they've been getting worse and worse. This one is just crap. I couldn't even make myself finish it.
