Tom Clancy's most shocking story to date - and closer to reality than any government would care to admit.
Over the course of nine novels, Tom Clancy's "genius for big, compelling plots" and his "natural narrative gift" ( The New York Times Magazine ) have established him as one of the preeminent storytellers of our time. In his new and most extraordinary novel, Rainbow Six , Clancy goes beyond anything he has done before.
At its heart is John Clark, the ex-Navy SEAL of Without Remorse , a master of secret operational missions, and newly named the head of an international task force dedicated to combating terrorism. Clark is looking forward to sinking his teeth into a new mission, but the opportunities start coming faster than anyone could have expected; an incident at a Swiss bank, the kidnapping of an international trader in Germany, a terrible raid on an amusement park in Spain.
Each episode seems separate, yet the timing disturbs Clark. Is there a connection? He tries to figure out where all this activity is heading, but there is no way to predict the real threat: a group of terrorists like none the world has ever encountered, a group so extreme that their success could literally mean the end of life on this earth as we know it.
This is Clancy at his best - and there is none better.
