content: Clancy's last three books have been very poor. He increasingly injects his stories with his own extreme right-wing political point of view. This becomes very tiring and is not a believable makeup of his characters. The right-wingers are the saviors, anybody else is a cold, bloodthirsty lunatic. How boring. And how often does the reader have to be reminded of what each character's intentions are? Each individual in the book has to repeat how they feel and what they're thinking about three dozen times. In school, this was considered "fattening" for length rather than content. The result in RAINBOW SIX is that the story gets continually bogged down.
