Featuring John Clark, the ex-Navy SEAL known from several of Clancy's novels, this is Tom Clancy's new and most extraordinary novel. John Clark is the man who conducts the secret missions President Ryan can have no part of. Whether hunting warlords in Japan or Columbian druglords, Clark is efficient and deadly but even he has ghosts in his past, demons that must be exorcised. And none worse than the peril he must face in Rainbow Six: a group of terrorists the world has never encountered before, a band of men and women so extreme that their success could literally mean the end of life as we know it.

Every single time I read prose which just details a series of actions I think 'This person's using the wrong medium ...
Absolutely horrible dialogue writing. Reflective of a stunningly adolescent obsession with types of weapons and the strategy of shooting things as if they were no more than pixels in a video game.
