In seven smash Rogue Warrior bestsellers, Richard Marcinko and John Weisman have delivered nonstop action and explosive thrills. Now, the Rogue Warrior writes a new set of rules for the shadowy world... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Those of us who are fans of the Weisman/Marcinko collaboration know what to expect, and we usually get it. Purple prose, riveting technical realism, and a refreshingly honest look at great men who overcome great odds in spite of malfunctioning equipment, fumbled flash-bang grenades, mashed noses and other Murphy factors. What can I say, I love this stuff. Reading Tom Clancy is like watching a video football game, while Weisman's work is like standing at the 50-yard line with the coach. Weisman understands that great men rise to greatness in spite of their occasional acts of bone-headedness! That's what separates the Rogue Warrior from the rest.
Best of this Series yet!

These are the men I want to "help" me if I'm ever a hostage! This was interesting, excting, scary & sad book. MAJOR page turner. The doom on Dicky verbage can be mind boggling sometimes... but never dull. It's apparent that the writer knows the whole Politics, Special Ops... & Seals like the back of his hand or other part of his anatomy(his words,not mine)...Never candy coating the truth when he's wrong or made a mistake or soft soaping grief. I enjoy the reappearing Seals, Friends & Villians from the past, as this is a small world, with lots of paths that cross & recross. Though I never get the impression "Good conquers Evil" here, just stomps it back into place for awhile. It's enough to make me feel just a wee bit safer.
Rogue Warrior: Echo Platoon

Hey! I'm a girl, a pilot, and a SpecOps fan. Marcinko may be rough, gruff, and calloused, but there is little doubt that he is not intimately acquainted with his subject. Read Echo! It is one of his best--entertaining and educational. It won't let you down, and neither would His Team. Best to the Borderline Godfather. I'm waiting for the next installment.
Doom on You, Dickie! You've Done it Again!

You like him or hate him -- no in between. Politically incorect, profane and funny as hell! One of the best "Rogue Warrior" series in years. Will he run out of bad guys? Stay tuned. The only bummer is that now we've got to wait another year for the next version of the Roguester to arrive. WTF, A rollicking, action-packed good time with interesting asides and commentaries on the Nature of Warriordom.
another masterpiece

Richard Marcinko writes with authority and knowledge and this book is no exception, he is a master of the NAVY SEAL world and I would recommend this book to anyone who has read his books before or wants to know what a real navy seal is like
