Product Description:
Bolder, brasher, and badder than ever before -- with an all-new team, the Rogue Warrior faces his ultimate challenge.
A suitcase nuke is on its way to a major American city, and there's only one man who can stop it. Back from self-imposed exile, during which he recommitted himself to the cause, and with a brand-new team of operatives straining at the leash, the Rogue Warrior has entered a whole new phase of his amazing career. The threat this time is from domestic terrorists intent on a holy war -- military insiders gone bad -- and what's worse, they possess suitcase-sized nuclear weapons. The city of Portland, Oregon, is under the ultimate threat, but what these dangerous terrorists will find, however, is a new and improved Rogue Warrior -- not only has age weathered him into the ultimate fighting machine, but he's also got an entirely new team together, a multicultural band of the toughest operatives available.
The ensuing chase to avoid nuclear annihilation is ripped-from-the-headlines stuff, and takes the Rogue Warrior to a new pitch, in which the very survival of his country is at stake. Can Demo Dick and his new band of Seals save the day, or is America heading for destruction? He's never had a harder task...is he up to it, or has the Rogue Warrior finally met his match?

Since he split with John Weisman as his actual writer, Marcinko's stories just don't work anymore - especially if he tries to write this stuff himself, as he seems to have done with this one!
Not good. Not worth the time and certainly not worth the money. Marcinko has slipped from the cutting edge to the garbage dump.

This is the very first novel I've read in this series. A great story,and well written by someone who really knows what he's writing about. Actually, I think this sort of a story can be better done as a novel as opposed to a movie.I find that movies yesterday are too short on description of how things work and too long on special effects. I read a Western series called Longarm which is set in the Old West in the period following the Civil War and up till the late 1880's. In many ways, this is the same sort of story but dealing with modern weapons,helicopters,espionage,and terrorists as opposed to outlaws,horses,six guns ,deserts,soiled doves and saloons. However; in both cases we get the chase,and shoot-outs between the good and bad guys.
Because the author has actually lived the world he writes aout ,we are given a real insight into this modern world of protecting the people who operate in the world of Terrorism.
We see how the stakes are so high yesterday with the weapons available to terrorists when compared with rhe limited damage that could be accomplished by the outlaws of old.
While reading novels is not the greatest source of learning how things work;I believe there is a lot to learn from this book ;particularly the methods and tools used to fight terrorism.
Here's a sample of some of the great lies from the book;
"An expert is someone who does the basics better than anyone else."
"Gun control means hitting the target."
"It must be a defect in my personality."
"Afterward he goes back under the glass where all good Rogue Warriors should be kept until they're needed."

I have read every Richard Marcinko book ever published - and like the others, this book is outstanding. The action kept me reading along at an extremely fast pace - the futher along that I got in the book - the fewer times I would take breaks - because I had to know what was going to happen next. Mr. Marcinko has done an outstanding job with every book in his series - this book included. I definitely recommend this book to all other readers. I have also read the subsequent book in the series - Vengeance and it too was awesome. I can't wait for the subsequent book - I wish he had more time to write more books each year.

The acronyms needed translation like in the other books and Trace Dahlgren was too badass a character for my taste. Also the fact that Marchinko was the romantic lead with every female in the book was a little far fetched.

I loved Rogue Warrior and Red Cell, but the series has declined since then, with this last book being a massive nose dive. I see that Weismann is no longer contributing (or doing all the work as it may be), and this book definitely had a different feel. It could be Marcinko wrote it and, no offense, isn't a good writer, or more plausibly, it's another writer trying to be like Marcinko and failing miserably. Marcinko is still the man, which is why I'm pissed about this book being crap, it sullies his name.
