Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Counterterrorist expert Marcinko's (Rogue Warrior) novel concerning a smuggling operation based in Japan was a six-week PW bestseller.
Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.


From Library Journal

Marcinko risked autobiography in the best-selling Rogue Warrior ( LJ 2/1/92), but here the founder and first commander of SEAL Team Six, the U.S. Navy's elite counterterrorist unit, and Red Cell, the SEAL team that tests navy security, fictionalizes his experiences--focusing on international smuggling.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the original Rogue Warrior, Dec 16 2003
By Eric Rucker (North Carolina) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Red Cell: Rogue Warrior II (Hardcover): Red Cell (Hardcover)
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 first Rogue Warrior book.

As a sidenote which might interest other readers, I was told by one of the characters of the 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 first Rogue Warrior book, youve basically read them all.

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

5.0 out of 5 stars These books ain't all fiction - that's what makes them fun, April 13 2002
By Brian Cates (Portland, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Intrigue, suspense, action. Vintage Marcinko
This one picks up shortly after Rogue Warrior ends. However, this is purely fiction. And, I tell you, the detail in which Marcinko gets is absolutely mesmerizing. Lisez davantage
