SpecWar master Richard Marcinko has revealed classified, kill-or-be-killed operations in a series of New York Times bestsellers: Rogue Warrior, his #1 blockbuster autobiography, and four scorching Rogue Warrior novels. Now in an electrifying new adventure, the Rogue Warrior battles an ultra-secret, ultra-lethal military plot.
AS A US NAVY SEAL, RICHARD MARCINKO KNEW NO LIMITS—AS THE ROGUE WARRIOR, HE OBEYS NO RULES!
The Rogue Warrior's taking a flying leap—a high-altitude jump over the South China Sea. His mission: scuttle a Chinese freighter's cargo of nuclear hardware and its crack crew of naval commandos. It's a leave-no-tracks, take-no-prisoners operation—in short, business as usual. But on board Marcinko makes a chilling discovery: a cache of state-of-the-art command and control equipment, all made in the USA—and primed for America's destruction!
Marcinko takes his findings back to Washington, where he runs into a wall of doublespeak and double deals. But not everyone wants to see America go down the drain. General Tom Crocker, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, unleashes the SEALs of war—Marcinko and a Pentagon-based unit, SEAL Force Alpha—to neutralize a global maze of political deceit that begins all too close to home.
The Chinese sense victory. They have a mole in the White House, and five thousand years of military strategy on their side. But neither the traitor nor all the wisdom of Sun Tzu are prepared for Marcinko and his men. They, after all, live by the Rogue Warrior's Tenth Commandment of SpecWar: "There Are No Rules—Thou Shalt Win At All Cost."
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Never let it be said that the Rogue isn't topical. During an attack on the Chinese equivalent of his own Navy SEALs, author/hero Marcinko finds top-secret American electronic equipment. This discovery leads him into the murky waters of American influence-peddling and bureaucratic incompetence (the latter personified by Marcinko's familiar nemesis, consummate Pentagon desk-driver RADM Pickney Prescott III). The foul-mouthed commando and his warrior band--Boomerang, Pick, Duck Foot and Half Pint--go about their business of killing people and breaking things by jumping from airplanes, crawling through underbrush and sneaking into palazzos, while Marcinko pauses the action every page or two to brief us on the tactics and mentality it takes to be what he calls a "Marcinko SEAL." Making further pit-stops for humor, Roguish philosophy and patriotic speechifying (none of them beyond the grasp of an intelligent fourth-grader), Marcinko leads a predictable, bloody mission against national threats located overseas and inside the Beltway.
