Freshman (06/01/03)

This is a great book. I'm not even all the way through it, and I've already decided to read it again (in the place of another book).
Sam (05/07/03)

Best big book I ever read.

Clancy has done it again. This novel was incredible. I may only be 14 years of age, but I know when I read a good book, and this was excellent
John Williams (05/04/03)

This book has been one of the best reads that I have read in a long time. The plot that is fed from Clancy to his readers is addictive and at times, chillingly true to life. The book's characters hold true to human life, and make the storyline that much more intersesting. A must read, and a "non-put-downable" book.

One of the best books I ever read.
SOT Long Rifle Marksman (03/31/03)

Tom Didn’t touch the real aspects of a SOT (Special Operations Team) In All honesty no Assaulter would use a 10mm for the fact that it would not pierce any real tactical armor. The fact that the team had a SAWO (Squad Automatic Weapon Operator) was insane a Weapon like that in a full auto burst is uncontrollable and will punch through a tank! It would have no problem going through a suspect into a innocent. A NATO Operated team would NEVER ride a Commercial AirLiner for the fact that it would put innocent civilians at risk and in harms way. A SOT like that would become a would target in a matter of days. Their security was high in the aspects of physical protection of the people on base but information leaks would have been unstoppable. His writing was superb but for those of us who live in the Real would of Enforcement and defense to protect and serve it was a bit comical on the tactical side. I mean who in their right mind would use a 10mm sub auto when they have a budget that allows them to use Fasmas, ICW’s, HKG36s, or even M4s. No True soldier would use such a light weapon when he knows he will most likely be going up against the most dangerous and deadliest men, mercenaries, and warriors alive
Mr. T (03/30/03)

I great novel from start to finish, Rainbow Six will grasp your intrest and never let it go. The characters, Clark and Ding, are great actioin icons that while do incredible things still are human like. The plot of the book is scary and incredibly real. All leading to an awesome ending. This is my favorite Clancy book and what got me reading his books
Nikolai (03/14/03)

Great action...WIsh there were more characters from the computer game in it. It was neat how each character acted with one another as opposed to the game. This book got me hooked on Clancy. I now got six of his books and my collection is growing.
