From Booklist

The Rogue Warrior--former SEALs officer Marcinko's self-image in all his coauthored books, autobiographical as well as fictional--returns in another exercise in hairy-chested readability. This time Marcinko is working, in the oil-rich Caspian Sea area, against efforts to destabilize the region to the joint benefit of the Iranians and the Russians, partners in an odd but entirely too plausible alliance. His enemies include former KGB general Oleg Lapinov and ruthless billionaire Sarkesian, not to mention Murphy's Law ("If anything can go wrong, it will"--known in Marcinko shorthand as "Mister Murphy"), faulty equipment, poisonous spiders, the U.S. ambassador to Azerbaijan, and hostile shooters of various degrees of proficiency. There are friends: the Israeli Ari Gal, female marine Major Ashley Evans, and the usual assortment of armed sidekicks of high proficiency and extreme willingness to follow Marcinko into the jaws of hell. Marcinko details the process of leading them there in customary mouth-drying, palm-moistening, exceptionally informative style. New readers must, of course, make allowances for the f-word to an author who writes about close quarters' combat from Marcinko's unusually intimate perspective. Hardened Rogue Warrior fans will just salute and read. Roland Green --Ce texte provient de la Hardcover édition.


From Kirkus Reviews

A sixth blood-and-guts novel in the series spun off from Marcinkos bestselling (nonfiction) memoir of his career as a Navy SEAL (Rogue Warrior, 1992). As the tale begins, our hero is swimming toward an oil platform in the Caspian Sea where Iranian terrorists have taken the Western workers hostage. Hes loaded down with 70 pounds of equipment (pistol, submachine gun, the usual) and covered with crude from an oil slickhey, nothing a little Bombay Sapphire wont fix. Marcinko is there to help the Azerbaijan army get rid of the baddies, but American Ambassador Marybeth Madison doesnt like him or his tactics. Thats okay, he doesnt like her either, and Article 88 (which forbids military personnel to disparage civilian authorities) has never kept him from voicing his opinions. It all gets more complicated from there on, with the usual rip-snorting action sequences and acronyms aplenty, plus a glossary for the confused. The first-person narration is as mannered as a Restoration comedy, but fans will enjoy the customary blend of heroics and politically incorrect commentary.

4.0étoiles sur 5 More Doom on Dickie!, Avril 23 2002
Par Chapulina R (Tovarischi Imports, USA/RUS) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I confess! Richard Marcinko's semi-autobiographical Rogue Warrior
series is one of my peculiar pleasures. "Red Cell" is still, far and
away, my favoite. But "Echo Platoon" is a treat with a new twist.
...It seems the old Rogue Warrior is starting to feel his age these
days. Even though he spends every free moment at Rogue Manor pumping
massive amounts of iron and honing his fighting and sharpshooting
skills, by his own admission he's having difficulty keeping up with
his young hunters. Sometimes enough to FUBAR the missions he leads.
And he's mellowing in other ways too, such as permitting a female
Marine to accompany the team this time out. But he can still kick that tango butt!
You might have caught the author on TV recently, describing SEAL
tactics in Afghanistan. Anyone else notice his splendid physical
condition? You have little trouble believing him quite capable of his
fictionalized exploits. You know he's intimately familiar with all
the weapons and gear he namedrops throughout his narrative. Despite
his ongoing love-hate relationship with the Navy, you can't help
admiring the Rogue for his swaggering patriotism, his fatherly
affection toward his young shooters, and his bantering, even bullying,
camaraderie with his readers. And then there's his trademark "Ten
Commandments of SPECWAR", which can be equally effective in whatever
non-lethal endeavor you might undertake, be it business to
bodybuilding. Credit also goes to John Weisman, Marcinko's co-author,
for the fast-reading, non-stop excitement and often laugh-out-loud
humor of this series. Sure, Dickie's getting greyer, but don't count
him out of the action yet! You know the old Rogue's got a few more
adventures to come!

4.0étoiles sur 5 One of the Best, Mars 15 2002
Hello to all of you Rogue Warrior fans! This is a [great] if you haven't read this book already. I'm not saying that all of them aren't good either, but just to say that this is one of my all time favorites! This story is about the one and only Richard Marckinko and his merry band of hunters, only this time he is in more [situations] than he can stuff in his big old roguish mouth of his. Dick is here in Azerbaijan on some "secret" mission to observe the opposition and to train the Azerbaijanians how to shoot& loot. But that all goes out the window when some professional tangos come in and hijack an oil rig run by some hostile crew. After all the shooting & looting Dick finally realizes he is in deep [trouble]. On top of that, the ambassador is on his case about how he should not be in the country and how it was against the "book" that he could not train the Azerbainians...so all in all this was a good book no matter what others say, despite the language and violence this is absolutely the best series ever!

3.0étoiles sur 5 Always the Rogue, Déc 10 2001
Par Jeff Jones (Decatur, TX United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Echo Platoon is just like those before it. Lots of blood, guts, cussing and thrill. Nothing here is new except the people who get killed. People should read this book if 1) they want to know more about the capabilities of the military, 2) they want to learn a little more about what happens around the world, 3) the just enjoy plain old action adventures. Stay away from the book if fair writing and extreme use of foul language bothers you. I would prefer Marcinko to quit making asides to his editor during the story. It only seems to help fill up pages. I would also prefer he stay within the action once it starts and identifies people and past events within another part of the book. Once the the hunter is after the prey and the killing begins, stay there. I find myself jumping through some passages just to stay on track with what is happening.
Marcinko will give you a slight sense of the fast-paced action of war and will give you an appreciation for those who still wish to make men of war within our military instead of trying to make the military a social club. I think future books will be even better based on the current status of our country and President Bush's attack attitude favored by Marcinko.
