About this eBook

In this #1 New York Times bestselling John Clark thriller, author Tom Clancy takes readers into the shadowy world of anti-terrorism and gets closer to reality than any government would care to admit...

Ex-Navy SEAL John Clark has been named the head of Rainbow, an international task force dedicated to combating terrorism. In a trial by fire, Clark is confronted with a violent chain of seemingly separate international incidents. But there is no way to predict the real threat: a group of terrorists like none the world has ever encountered, a band of men and women so extreme that their success could literally mean the end of life on earth as we know it.

Ratings and reviews

The multiple adventures Clancy takes you on with Rainbow are always action packed. Once the real story of the book begins to unfold, you won't be able to put the book down. The details of each main character are very full and well planned, the villains aren't the typical entirely crazy supervillains, and you might find yourself liking a 'bad guy'. Must read!

Its all right i guess. No real spec ops team is that square in real life. Most gen z would find the novel dull. The evil vegan terrorist's plot to depopulate humanity from the earth is very frightening, unusual for far left ideology to be used as villians in this type of writing.

Love the game. Had different senarios that thrilled me, but there were some times I would get spawn peaked. I am talking about Rainbow Six: Siege on the Xbox One, PS4, and on PC. Overall, another amazing game from the Tom Claney's series. P.S. the book was alright...

About the author

A little more than thirty years ago Tom Clancy was a Maryland insurance broker with a passion for naval history. Years before, he had been an English major at Baltimore’s Loyola College and had always dreamed of writing a novel. His first effort, The Hunt for Red October, sold briskly as a result of rave reviews, then catapulted onto the New York Times bestseller list after President Reagan pronounced it “the perfect yarn.” From that day forward, Clancy established himself as an undisputed master at blending exceptional realism and authenticity, intricate plotting, and razor-sharp suspense. He passed away in October 2013.
