This book is both a mystery and a Thriller. Excellent writing by Mr. Clancy. His attention to detail is astounding.

Updated Review: 4 Stars. Just reread this and it was still good, but slower than I remember. moving it to 4 stars from 5 mostly due to inappropriate language.
Original Review: 5 Stars. One of my favorite Tom Clancy books. Clancy's books often take awhile to get into, but this one was one of the quickest to get into and I really enjoyed it!

THIS was the longest book I read in 2022?! Yeah, it felt long.
I read this out loud to my husband, on his request. It took forever. It went between being very interesting to "why do I care about this group at all??" and ultimately seemed extremely padded out for the story it was trying to tell.
It was extremely patriotic. I didn't mind the element of environmentalists being the baddies; any passion can become stupidly obsessive. What I minded was how much of my time it took to get to the point, get to the tension, and how very many dull chapters I had to read through to get there. I get it, Rainbow Six Is Cool And Smart And Can Do Nothing Wrong. This story could still have used some severe editing.
My husband tells me the game is much better.

Romanzo sullo spionaggio dell'FBI.
Lunghissimo ed infinito, ma interessante.

If I had to review this book in two words, 'Interesting enough' would be my choice. The entire book rides a solid 6 on my interest scale. I was slightly interested and rarely crazy about it. The combat missions are exciting, but are simply too far between. If this is your type of book, you may enjoy it. If it's not, it won't win you over. Even if you enjoy this genre, there's a chance it'll still leave you wanting. But it's not a bad read. Bit repetitive, but not terrible.
I didn't particularly care much for the primary plot. I was interested enough to see how it ended, but that was it. Zero suspense in that regard. Clancy could've likely dropped 200-300 pages from this and the book would've benefited. That or adding another 2-3 combat missions.
I didn't care much for any of the characters. If I had to pick, John Clark and Popov would be my 'favorites.' I was not a big fan of Ding's character. Partially because the name Domingo is so much better than Ding. it bugs me. I was waiting for another Rainbow member to step up and flaunt some personality while taking a bigger role in the book, but it simply wasn't happening.
Overall:
Enjoyed it? Yes.
Crazy about it? No.
Reread? No.
Interested in John Clark/Ding 2? No, but I wouldn't be against trying Without Remorse or something else by Clancy.
