| Rainbow Six -The Novel |
| John Clark face the world's greatest fear - and his own - in Tom Clancy's novel, Rainbow Six. At it's heart is John Clark, the ex-Navy SEAL of Without Remorse, well known from several of Clancy's novels as a master of secret operational missions. Whether hunting warlords in Japan, druglords in Colombia, or nuclear terrorists in the United States, Clark is efficient and deadly, but even he has ghosts in his past, demons that must be exorcised. And nothing is more demonic than the peril he must face in Rainbow Six. Newly named the head of an international task force dedicated to to combating terrorism, Clark is looking forward to getting his teeth into a new mission, but the opportunities start coming thicker and faster than anyone could have expected: an incident at a Swiss bank, the kidnapping of an international trader in Germany, a terrible raid on an amusement park in Spain. Each episode seems separate, discrete, yet the timing disturbs Clark. Is there a connection? Is he being tested? With the help of his close associates, executive officer Alistair Stanley and strike team leaders Domingo Chavez and Peter Covington, Clark tries to figure out where all this activity is heading, 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 this earth as we know it. |

| Red Storm Entertainment has adapted the novel to game form. In Rainbow Six, and its follow ups, Eagle Watch, Rogue Spear, Urban Operations, and Covert Ops, you enter the perilous world of counter-terrorism. The games are composed of two parts: The Missions: The games you play vs. the computer. you take a team of operatives against the computer controlled terrorists in a wide variety of locales. Multi-player: This is the meat of the game, and where Clan (team) play begins. You play online, in real time, with up to 16 real-life players, vying for superiority in the original maps, and an unlimited number of "map mods." Interactive online play IS the future of gaming, and for us, it mainly started with the Rainbow Six product line. |
