I read Rainbow Six prior to this and honestly I felt like this was, by and large, a more enjoyable experience. It is far more action packed and I cared more for the characters involved. It's a short read, only 400 pages compared to 900, but it does what it needs to do. This is actually my second time through this book. I read it 10 years ago and enough time had passed for me to enjoy it a second time through. That says something as I don't do that often, and why it has 4 stars instead of 3.
It's not groundbreaking and the plot won't swerve you in any memorable ways. Nor will the characters, though I really like Sam, sink their fingers into you in ways you cannot imagine, but it could still happen. That said, it's still fun and I'd recommend it for fans of the game or looking for an action packed military/spy thriller piece of fiction or if you, like me, were left wanting by Rainbow Six.
