Rainbow Six

De: Tom Clancy

Narrado por: Michael Prichard

Over the course of nine novels, Tom Clancy's genius for big, compelling plots and his natural narrative gift have mesmerized hundreds of millions of readers and established him as one of the preeminent storytellers of our time. Rainbow Six, however, 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.

good story disappointing narrator

Intriguing story but the narrator was not the best. Not much difference in character voices made it hard to figure out who was talking. Aside from the narrator I did enjoy the story.

Just as a side note Audible needs to have two separate ratings for the story and the narrator. I would've given the following in that case.
Story 5 stars once I get past the voices I enjoyed the ride.
Narrator 3 stars not bad just not as entertaining as some of the others I've heard.

Still my one of my most favorite books

Read the original booking card back back in the 90s. I’ve been a fan of Tom Clancy since I was a child. This books still no matter how many times I listen to it is still a great read.

Audio quality is terrible

Enjoying the story, it’s typical Clancy. The narrator is a poor choice though. And the sound quality is terrible. At full volume I still need my headphones to hear it all. Without headphones it is just too quiet. This should be re-recorded or remastered or whatever for audio quality and volume.

Great book

Great book. The story was compelling and hit several good points. It had espionage, action, and was very intriguing.

Very appropriate for a COVID read....

Clancy, as always, is the master of the technological thriller. John Clark battles Eco-terrorist with an interesting and timely weapon.
