Recalled involuntarily to lead the dirty-dozen team know as Red Cell, the Rogue Warrior takes on the traitors who would betray America for a price.

Format:Audio Cassette
This is Marcinko`s second book, and here he begins to write fiction. After a while, he repeats himself, but if you like this book you just have to read all the others.
The book starts when Marcinko gets out of jail, and is forced back in the navy, to resume his duty as commander of the red cell. The story is thrilling and funny. If you have experience from the military, the book is even more interesting, since the author gives you a lot of info about do`s and don`ts in the world of warfare.
If the story is fiction or not is up to you to decide. Begin reading this books first, since its the most entertaining in the series, and then take on Rogue Warrior.

Ass-ripping, ball jarring fly by the seat of your pants BOOK
29 Jun 1996
Format:Hardcover
PLEASE BE WARNED, this is not a book that you will read every now and then over the next few months. This is a book that is guarranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat every second that you hold it in your hands. You WILL HAVE to continue to read this book unitl the very end, because it sucks you into the role, you become, think, and mentally act like Richard Marcinko, a thirty year veteren in the U.S. Navy's elite maritime commandos, and the creator of the Navy's legendary countererrorist unit SEAL TEAM 6. I personally took off a days work in order to read this book from cover to cover and I was not dissappionted at all. After reading this book I went through withdrawal pains waiting for his next book. I vow that if you even read one page of this non stop thriller, you to will become addicted to the unique writng styles of Richard Marcinko and John Weisman. For all of you modern day and wannabe warriors out there, read this book for it is the bible of Special Warfare, it will give you some of the unique mental and physical demands and outlooks of the worlds most deadly fighting force the Navy SEALS!!!! Trust me, just buy the book and enjoy the thing!! Page one of this novel list Richard Marcinkos 10 commandment of SPECWAR nad two of them apply right now to you dear reader, #1thou shalt never assume (This means you, do not assume that this is like any other book for it is not) and #2 Thou hast not to like it- thou hast just to do it (Just buy the book, you will love it

Intrigue, suspense, action. Vintage Marcinko
26 Oct 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This one picks up shortly after Rogue Warrior ends. However, this is purely fiction. And, I tell you, the detail in which Marcinko gets is absolutely mesmerizing. You're there with ol' Demo Dick and his merry band of marauders as they conduct a number of field exercises intended to show just how fragile the security at some military bases can be. Later, you're dodging bullets alongside Marcinko and his deadly band of SEALS as they storm an oil platform to take down a group of terrorists as ol' Demo Dick can. If you're new to the series, start off with Rogue Warrior, then pick this one up, and keep reading the rest of the Rogue Warrior series. With the exception of Designation Gold, you won't get bored for a single page-turning minute.

Great Action whether it is true or not
21 Aug 1999
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Marcinko is a genius in SpecWar. Even his enemies would admit that he is one of the best warriors that the USA has ever produced. Marcinko has lived it, unlike Clancy or Coonts. He is a true warrior. This book and everyone in the Rogue Warrior series proves that he is a professional killer during conflict. If you are a whimp don't read his books, they are not for you. Go read something by Jackie Collins or Steven King.
