content: Rainbow Six is not one of Tom Clancy's better efforts. The reader is taken through an escalading series of contrived terrorist crises driven a most implausible antagonist. The book reads so much like a video game, that I was not the least bit surprised to see the video game on store shelves shortly thereafter. To me the book seems like an afterthought of the software development.My advice is buy the game (if that's your sort of thing) and skip to The Bear and the Dragon if you're a Clancy fan.
