In this #1 New York Times bestselling John Clark thriller, author Tom Clancy takes readers into the shadowy world of anti-terrorism and gets closer to reality than any government would care to admit... Ex-Navy SEAL John Clark has been named the head of Rainbow, an international task force dedicated to combating terrorism. In a trial by fire, Clark is confronted with a violent chain of seemingly separate international incidents. But there is no way to predict the real threat: a group of terrorists like none the world has ever encountered, a band of men and women so extreme that their success could literally mean the end of life on earth as we know it.

This was my first Tom Clancy book. A couple of slow spots but overall a very good book.

It's almost eerie how long ago Tom Clancy portrayed a biological weapon that could of wiped out most of mankind. And how it was released into the world. Shame he passed too soon.
I first want to say this could have been a good story. However, listening to the audio version was painful. The narrator. read. each. sentence. with. pauses. in. between. each. word. Ugh. I couldn't separate the voices or the male from female voice. I finally started to be able to understand part of the storyline a little more than halfway through. But it was very confusing most of the way and even after that. I kept wanting to take the CD out of the player, but I forced myself to continue. I finally gave up on the last chapter , when I felt the story was over and yet it kept going. Not necessarily one I would recommend to others.
