Tom Clancy's "genius for big, compelling plots" and his "natural narrative gift" (
The New York Times Magazine) have established him as one of the preeminent storytellers of our time. In this most extraordinary novel,
Rainbow Six, Clancy goes beyond anything he has done before.
At its heart is John Clark, a master of secret operational missions, and newly named the head of an international task force dedicated to combating terrorism. Clark tries to figure out where a recent string of terrorist attacks 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.
