Rogue
Warrior by Richard Marcinko and John Weisman
Why be bored when you can read the Rogue Warrior series? If you
haven't discovered these gems its time to let the Rogue Warrior
astonish you with a whole new vernacular, and a deeper than ever before
look at covert operations. The Rogue Warrior was the nonfiction
book that was so good, the authors were banned from writing any more nonfiction
and later turned their continuing series into "fiction." Do you know
what made the Navy Seals famous? - the Rogue Warrior. The
Rogue Warrior talks like no one else. His world is one you've never
seen before. Character descriptions are fantastic. The action
is unbelieveable. The only reason every book in this series is not
rated a ten is that after the first few books they lose some originality,
because you've learned the vernacular and are familiar with the action
of spec warriors by the time you get farther down the series.
Rogue
Warrior: Red Cell by Richard Marcinko and John Weisman
Book number two in the series was not a let down. I couldn't
put it down.
Rogue
Warrior: Green Team by Richard Marcinko and John Weisman
Book number three was also great.
Rogue
Warrior: Task Force Blue by Richard Marcinko and John Weisman
Okay, by now a little bit of repetition is evident. You know
the lingo, you know the action, but you'll still love it.
Rogue
Warrior: Designation Gold by Richard Marcinko and John Weisman
More good reading.
Rogue
Warrior: Seal Force Alpha by Richard Marcinko and John Weisman
Naturally our hero starts off in a precarious and
hazardous position and Mr. Murphy has arrived to to screw things up.
Then there's China; they're the threat now. Something's going on
and it smells bad in the executive branch of the government. Is this
a novel or what's really happening in Washington. You'll be asking
yourself that many times. I know I ranked this an 8, but if it had
been the first book of the series that I had read, I would have ranked
it a 9 or 10.
Fortunes
of War by Stephen Coonts
You have to love planes and weapons to love this book.
If you don't, you won't get past the poorly developed characters, and the
lack of tension, despite the military setting. I quit reading this
book at page 97.
