THE NOVEL See Also: Rainbow Six (book) The novel, ''Rainbow Six'', was written by Tom Clancy and published in 1998 . It is part of the Jack Ryan series, however, the novel actually focuses on John Clark , Ding Chavez , and a fictional multi-national counter-terrorist squad named "Rainbow". COMPUTER AND VIDEO GAMES genre.]] The first game was developed by Red Storm Entertainment while the novel was being written. The game later spawned a number of sequels and expansions. Red Storm was later acquired by Ubisoft , who currently develops and publishes the games. ''Rainbow Six'' and its sequels defined the Tactical Shooter genre, forcing players to focus more time and effort on stealth, teamwork, and tactics rather than on sheer firepower. With some of the more recent releases, however, the game has taken on more of a 'mainstream' first-person shooter approach in an attempt to appeal to a wider audience by moving away from the tactical planning aspect that made the game popular in the first place.

THE MOVIE A film adaptation of the novel and video game has been in the works for quite some time. At one point in 2004 John Woo had signed on to Direct the film, but in 2005 had dropped out and had been replaced by Zack Snyder ('' Dawn Of The Dead '') who is also Writing the screenplay. Previous writers attached to the film include John Enbom, Frank Capello, Michael Shiffer, Bill Wisher, and Art Monterastelli. The film is tentatively set to be released in 2007 . TEAM RAINBOW Team "Rainbow" is an international counter-terrorism operation operated by NATO (Some sources claim that "Rainbow" is controlled by the United Nations , but the novel clearly states otherwise). The base of operations for "Rainbow" is located in Hereford (home to the SAS ) due to the United Kingdom being geographically one of the most accessible countries in the world. Most of the employees of "Rainbow" are American or British however the NATO countries of France , Germany and Italy plus Israel have one representative each. The structure of Rainbow is made up of one Commanding Officer who oversees the entire operation and one Executive Officer who is second in command. Because "Rainbow" is the "blackest of black" operations, it works off of its very own intelligence service, which in turn has intelligence contacts all over the world. When "Rainbow" is called upon for help from another country’s government to deal with a terrorist situation, usually only one of the two teams will be sent, but in some situations, both will be sent. Both teams have one team leader and one senior officer that are first in command and second in command, respectively. Not including the team leader, each team is made up of eleven men. The following is a list of all the staff members and their positions in "Rainbow" mentioned in the novel "Rainbow Six." ;Director: ;Deputy Director:

In The Bear And The Dragon , Rainbow makes a return. While their part in novel begins rather small, they become more involved as the novel pregresses. It is noted that since the events of Rainbow Six, the public has become more aware of the existance of Rainbow and are often refered to as the "Men in black" in regards to their uniforms. It's also said that the teams' roster is constantly changing. Many of the original members of Rainbow have left the team, some later returned, and then somve even left again, and new members are always added. Ettore Falcone from the Italian Carabinieri was added to Team One (still under Chazev's command) just before the events of The Bear and the Dragon. EXTERNAL LINKS |
