RAINBOW SIX by Tom Clancy

In Tom Clancy's "Rainbow Six," a super-soldier SWAT team must fight to protect the world from hippie Eco-Terrorists. My personal views on Clancy's apparent political bias aside, this book is well-crafted but meaningless, a tasty bit of fluff that serves as a palate-cleansing sorbet to be taken after a heavier read. While it's over 600 pages long, "Rainbow Six" is such an easy read that one should be able to finish it within a week. In the end, Clancy's prose (if he did indeed write this one) is clichéd but enjoyable, and "Rainbow Six" is perfect distractionist entertainment.
