Rogue Warrior II: Red Cell

By: Richard Marcinko, John Weisman

Narrated by: Richard Marcinko

When Richard Marcinko wrote his best-selling autobiography, Rogue Warrior, he and co-writer John Weisman were bound by government restrictions and could only tell a fraction of his incredible story. Now the tales he could not tell, the secrets he could not reveal explode in Rogue Warrior II: Red Cell - a riveting ne novel with Marcinko himself as the hero.

He is the enemy's worst nightmare and lives by only one rule...win, by any means.

Freelance security consultant Dick Marcinko is playing terrorist at Tokyo's Narita Airport. Easily penetrating the facility's defenses, he engages in a deadly firefight with North Korean operatives - and discovers that a group of traitorous Americans are smuggling nuclear materials to North Korea and Japan. With no where else to turn, the former Secretary of Defense recalls Marcinko to the Navy against his will to command Red Cell, a dirty-dozen Seal team Marcinko created. From infiltrating Washington's Navy Yard offices and secret nuclear weapons depot in California, to raiding a North Korean Navy base and a target far out in the Pacific, the Rogue Warrior and his marauding SEALs fight incredible odds and increasingly dangerous enemies.

A relentlessly paced audiobook that hurtles to its electifying climax, Rogue Warrior II: Red Cell is as good as a thriller gets.

Critic reviews

"[P]aranoid military conspiracy buffs will find plenty to worry about here. A surefire bet for wannabe soldiers of fortune, this is also a frighteningly plausible scenario of political and military power gone astray." ( Publishers Weekly)

Mr. Marcinko

I have read and read the books. I love them, however Mr. Marcinko please don’t read them. You ruined the whole book. Still love the books.

more please

I love to hear Dick read his own stuff. best in the business. No matter what business it is.

All rogue warrior books

Richard really rubs the administration in shite. Thumbs up Delta Dick for performing a fiction novel that is actually a good read! Non fiction books are good but they don’t like you to rub their noses in a nonfiction book. I applaud you for a job and career very well done 5 stars

Salty dog

It reads like a salty dog telling a story. The story was entertaining. Even though Dick isn't a literary genius like Shakespeare and Eminem, Marcinko delivers great detail.

Abridged version leaves out a lot

Better to read the book, there’s lots of details not included in the audio version.

Marcinco is a terrible narrator. 90 miles hour

I think a different narrator would have improved this book. Marcinco talks too fast. He never pauses. It's like a kid reading aloud in class.

RIP

Rest well Captain. You deserve it and more for everything you did and your warriors too. You are missed.

Terrific action from start to finish!

I do a great deal of traveling in my car across the Southeast United States and the Rogue Warrior books really take the listener on every mission!

hell of a story

great story and what also made it better was it was read by the man the myth the legend who wrote can't beat that

Good story, but...

...having read the book about ten years ago, I find it hard to believe this abridgement was approved by Mr. Marcinko. I guess it's likely he did though, since he's the one doing the narrating. I've listened to plenty of abridged audiobooks over the years (including titles where I have familiarity with the unabridged versions), but this one has *really* been gutted. There're a lot of details missing, and you lose a lot of Mr. Marcinko's enjoyable swagger which falls through the resulting cracks.

Either way, still a good story by itself, but if you like it check out the book or try to find an unabridged version.
