As I've mentioned before, I wasn't fond of Tom Clancy's politics, but he did write darn good thrillers, especially IMO before he started really letting his politics bleed into them, as in the spin-off Jack Ryan Jr series.

Rainbow Six is the second of his books that features the somewhat mysterious John Clark, rather than Jack Ryan (either Jack Ryan). It has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US right now. My memory from reading it many many years ago in DTB was that it was pretty good, and not so much politics as to drive me nuts...of course, YMMV...

Quote:
In this #1 New York Times bestselling John Clark thriller, author Tom Clancy takes readers into the shadowy world of anti-terrorism and gets closer to reality than any government would care to admit...

Ex-Navy SEAL John Clark has been named the head of Rainbow, an international task force dedicated to combating terrorism. In a trial by fire, Clark is confronted with a violent chain of seemingly separate international incidents. 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 earth as we know it.
