Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT!!!
Review: As with all of the Rogue Warrior books, it is excellent. I have read all the books in the series. Every page you read just makes you won't to read more. Once I picked up this book, I couldn't stop reading it. The only time I stopped was to eat and sleep. Richard Marcinko and John Weisman do an outstanding job. ALL HAIL THE ROGUE WARRIOR, DEMO DICK MARCINKO!!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not as good as the original Rogue Warrior
Review: 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.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: You'll find yourself laughing and cursing right along
Review: Marcinko knows his stuff. There's no doubt he's from the old school of stick it in your face and make you like it leadership.
Great action sequences and real enough to admit even the highest trained Spec warriors make mistakes or s%#t just sometimes happens.(i.e. Murphy's Law always rules)
The story moves along swiftly with just the right amounts of shooting, profanity, techno jargon, humor, and drinking to keep it interesting.
Yes, the violence level is high but, so is the fun. Bravo Zulu.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: These books ain't all fiction - that's what makes them fun
Review: 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.

Summary: Fun thriller but ego gets annoying
Review: This book is fairly fun to read especially if you like spec ops and that sort of thing. But his ego just gets terribly annoying, as well as his attempts at humor - he tries too hard to make himself seem macho. WE GET THE POINT, YOURE A TOUGH NAVY SEAL! But besides that, its a pretty fun read.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great action
Review: Cheesey writing, but excellent action. I'm not much for fiction, but this was a blast.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best of the Fiction
Review: Get this one for a "follow-up" to what happend to the Rogue, then follow him on anadventure which takes him all over the globe, then don't worry about the rest of the series.
"What? I thought you liked his books"
Look, I have read them all and I am telling you they all runtogetherandbecomethesamestoryoverandover
"How can you say such a thing"
It's easy, read all of the series, back to back to back and tell if you do not see a pattern.

Here's to hoping the next round of books will turn a corner on this.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty good
Review: Hard to believe that it's entirely fiction. Makes one wonder.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome
Review: I don't normally read novels but I made an exception with this one and I am very glad I did. Marcinko does a great job at bringing the reader into the story. As I was reading I couldn't help but visualize what he was telling. The book is advertised as a novel but the type of information contained in this book makes you wonder how Marcinko learned it? I read this shortly after Rogue Warrior and it was a great follow up. This is one of the only books that absolutely MUST be on the big screen. Bruckheimer, if you aren't going to make the movie give the script to somebody who will.
