it arrived in a timely manner and my husband loves it of course, we tried barnes and nobles and could not find it there, so this was a good option.

I waited for this book to come out after enthusiastically reading the original "Rogue Warrior." I thought Red Cell was good...well you might say it was "OK." But it certainly didnt have the drama of the very very first Rogue Warrior book.
As a sidenote which might interest other readers, I was told by one of the characters of the very first Rogue Warrior that "Red Cell was more true than the original Rogue Warrior." I was told this by Jim Watson when I was visiting the UDT/SEAL museum in Fort Pierce, FL in 1994. He didnt go into any specific details and I didnt ask. After hearing Jim Watson make this comment to me in his office, I have since wondered how much (or how little) is really true in ANY of the Rogue Warrior series of books.
Honestly, my advice is after youve read the very first Rogue Warrior book, youve basically read them all.

Marcinko knows his stuff. There's no doubt he's from the old school of stick it in your face and make you like it leadership.
Great action sequences and real enough to admit even the highest trained Spec warriors make mistakes or s%#t just sometimes happens.(i.e. Murphy's Law always rules)
The story moves along swiftly with just the right amounts of shooting, profanity, techno jargon, humor, and drinking to keep it interesting.
Yes, the violence level is high but, so is the fun. Bravo Zulu.

Cheesey writing, but excellent action. I'm not much for fiction, but this was a blast.

If you have read all of Cmdr Marcinko's books, and I have, you know that some of the 'asides' he gives in these books are true. Red Cell did do a security exercise where they simulated 'blowing up' Air Force One. Marcinko did lead a team of shooters into Libya where they waxed over 30 people in a terrorist camp. Now the main story, which in Red Cell is about the smuggling of nuclear material to Japanese Rightists by traitors in the U.S., (as far as I know), that's fiction.
For those in the know, it's fun reading Marcinko's books and seeing where he's taken the real stuff and blended it in with the fiction. Of all his books, this is the one I still enjoy reading the most.
