Title: Give me a Break
Review: Although I've read everything but those op-center books, the declining quality of his latest offerings caused me to buy Rainbow 6 with some trepidation. I now regret buying and reading this ridiculous book. There is no reason for this lightweight story to occupy 740 pages -- is Clancy getting paid by the word? Clancy should place more emphasis on tight plotting and omit the right wing paranoia. Also, subtlety is definitely not his strong suit. The ham-fisted superhero treatment of Clark, Chavez, and the rest of the Rainbow 6 team is straight out of a comic book. Finally, I won't spoil it by telling you who the villains are, but if you find them as scary as Clancy does, you are part of the lunatic fringe. What happened to the guy who wrote The Hunt for Red October?
