Great story!

Love the book and story, got to be the 4th time I've been through it, 3 in paper once in Audible.
The narrator Michael Pritchard is tough to listen to though. I don't feel that he presents or plays the characters very well. If you can set aside his character portrayal inconsistencies and focus on the story - you'll probably love it too.

Good book but very long.

This book was very in depth but, very long and drawn out. I took breaks between listening and this book took what I felt,forever to finish. If you like a long story this shouldn't be an issue though. This story was also pretty detailed with military jargon like I've heard other people say.

Love this book, the narrator is great.

Rainbow 6 is a terrific book, the narrator is great. The plot is great, a bit wordy, but overall a great experience.

Outstanding story

Would you listen to Rainbow Six again? Why?

Yes. This is my third time listening to Rainbow Six and it keeps getting better. There always something that I missed

What was one of the most memorable moments of Rainbow Six?

The take down of the IRA terrorists at the hospital. It was great how the team worked together.

What does Michael Prichard bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I enjoy Michael Prichard's narration. It helped me envision what was going on.

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

It made me have a stronger opinion of the environmentalists and makes me wonder how far they would go for their beliefs

I loved the novel and I loved this audiobook.

I thought the narrator did a good job although it seems like for part of it his voice changed. I'm a big Tom Clancy fan but only recently discovered audio books and this is my first one. I may have to look at some of my other favorite Tom Clancy novels and see how their audiobooks are

Amazing book! Well worth the length!

This is my very first Tom Clancy novel and I am hooked. I absolutely loved it. The narration was pretty good. The narrator cannot do accents very well, so the English and Australian and Russian just kind of start out OK but pretty soon are just american again. but besides that, the narrator was great! But the story! Oh the story was fantastic! It is a super long book, but well worth it. I highly recommend this novel. There is strong language and violence, just fyi.

Great book

I have been a big Clancy fan since the 1980s. I enjoy the fact that these have come to audible so I can listen while driving or flying. Some words that are quite obvious are mispronounced in this book, like vegan, but, all in all it’s a good read and a great book.
