Instant classic

This book is an instant classic. It takes the time to educate you on both sides. Then all of the intense scenes that rainbow goes through are perfectly written to help you see every step.

Great Book

What made the experience of listening to Rainbow Six the most enjoyable?

It takes less concentration to listen rather than to read.

Who was your favorite character and why?

John Clark. I have followed all of his accomplishments since his SEAL days in Viet Nam Through his civilian time before recruitment into the CIA and on.

What about Michael Prichard’s performance did you like?

How can I compare him with my two top narrators, Alexander Scourby and James Earl Jones.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I have read the book at least twice, how could I have any extreme reactions??

Any additional comments?

I kind of like these Audio Books. I think I will be getting more.

Essential Clancy

This has some of the best character development, and it's addictive. I love this book, and it's in my top 3 in the series! The narration is not as good as the LDP narrations, but it's good. You don't know Clancy, if you don't know Rainbow Six!

I love Clancy, but Damn...That Narrator

The book was great, the Narrator and audio quality at times however, not so hot.

Good writing, Iffy narration.

The reading is boring, but the action and writing are excellent, as expected from Tom Clancy.

Pretty good

All in all I enjoyed this book. Interesting & scary concept.
PLEASE Michael Prichard, vegan is pronounced
vee-gan not vA-gan. I’m not a vegan but your pronunciation drove me nuts.
Clancy books always a fun read or listen.
