No, but light years beyond "Red Rabbit", which was downright boring. I didn't care much for "Rainbow Six" either, but I did like "The Bear and The Dragon", as it was a return to his military techno thriller genre, more like "Red October" or "Red Storm Rising" (my personal favorite, it would have made a great movie, at least before Ronald Reagan felled the Evil Empire)
Wow, I loved Rainbow Six! Have read it several times and have the audio book for trips. That was a book ahead of it's time for terrorism schemes. Can't wait for the sequel to "Tiger and the Teeth."
