Negative Positive
Title: Lots of exploding heads but no real suspense.
Review: I left this book in a hotel room. That's how disappointed I was after reading Rainbow Six. The only reason I finished the book was that I have enjoyed Tom Clancy's other books and kept hoping that it would turn around. It didn't. It is a simplistic book about a highly trained counter-terrorist group that never fails to kill all the bad guys. Since there is never developed in the reader any real sense that the good guys might fail, the book seems to move from one self-serving win to another. At best, this book is long and boring. At a deeper level it paints a picture of covert operations agents as a group of psycopathic killers who have thinly sheathed their obsession in questionable purpose. The story would have been ever so much more interesting if Rainbow Six had to deal with the ramifications of a successful Dooms Day plot.
