From Publishers Weekly

Riding the wave of controversy over Iraq, and dedicated "To the many heroes of September 11th," this 10th volume in the breathtakingly crude but bestselling Rogue Warrior series again stars hairy-chested author/narrator Capt. Dick Marcinko, ex-navy SEAL and covert-ops antiterrorism expert. Licking his wounds after unjustly serving time in a white-collar federal prison, Capt. Dick is called to Washington when the White House is confronted with the theft of a suitcase-sized nuclear bomb by a band of terrorists. After capturing one of the terrorists, Dick's team tortures him into revealing the group's plan to nuke Portland, Ore., as the first step in establishing ethnic purity in the world. Marcinko may have jettisoned his longtime co-writer John Weisman (whose name no longer appears on the title page), but little else has changed. As in previous volumes, Dick is boorishly self-aggrandizing (he boasts of bedroom swordsmanship with a 10-inch saber), and the first-person narration is punctuated with personal confidences that detract from the authentic descriptions of cutting-edge high-tech military weapons and vivid action-packed scenes of engagement. Bordering on comic book satire and saturated with gruesome, gratuitous violence, the novel should fly off the shelves into the eager hands of the rabid legions of blood and guts fantasy-fulfillment RW readers.

4.0étoiles sur 5 A Concealed Warning In This Story, Juil 18 2004
Par Rob Hopkins (Reston, Virginia USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Violence of Action (Mass Market Paperback)
OK, other reviews may discuss the style of Richard Marincko's book. And the action in the story may occasionally make a thinking reader skeptical or disgusted. However, I believe that there is a concealed point to the story: It is a model story that could apply to many cities instead of only a threat to Portland Oregon, the target city.

The story opens in Washington DC. A white supremacy group kills a famous jurist who is thought to favor blacks, Jews and equality. When Capt. Marcinko and his people get called in hours later, they suddenly spot one of the bad guys still in the neighborhood to assess the aftermath of the murder. Now this is a lucky, mind-stopping coincidence, is it not? But the whole remainder of the story depends on this unlikely sighting, because it leads to the man's capture, interrogation and the further responses of Marcinko's team. This is an indication of how a real investigation would be going nowhere unless there is a big mistake by the terrorists.

Much later in the story, the group is transporting a stolen nuke into Portland by river. Of course the M-team stops them, after a lot of carnage to both sides. But think a little larger, and it suddenly becomes apparent how the water avenue is wide open in many other cities. Here is a short list of American cities: Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, DC, Miami, New Orleans, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Honolulu, and even Chicago, Memphis and others.

This story is a parable. It shows the danger to one city directly, and many others indirectly. There are all sorts of vulnerabilities in the world, especially by water. If there is ever a nuke threat, I hope the real response teams get as lucky as they did in this novel!

3.0étoiles sur 5 violence of action, Mai 15 2004
This edition follows the character and his exploits/style well, but the plot is shaky (re: white supremacists), and he beats the 'navy screwed me' issue to death...the briefcase nuke object of story was a good choice, but when he mentions terrorists accessing/collecting medical rad sources, and scraping radium off clocks, (rather than, say, buying off russian scientists or shipping truckloads of rad sources from kazakhstan) I think he should beg weisman to come back, or hire andy mcnab

2.0étoiles sur 5 Marcinko still politically correct, Mai 3 2004
Par James Stevens "jharry3" (Houston, TX United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Violence of Action (Mass Market Paperback)
ah. The warrior for the State. Marcinko and his big government, Politically correct Navy warriors now re-write the Turner Diaries by standing the plot on its head.
Distasteful stuff no matter which point of view is scrutinized.
Each uses personnel prejudices to justify torture and murder.

Please. Does anyone nowadays really believe White Supremacists are a threat to nuke America?
More like they are the only boogey man left that you can slay without bringing down the wrath of the PC Navy pencil necked geeks who hand out those security contracts.
