The revelations from Richard Marcinko -- the fearlessly
controversial Navy commando -- in his explosive #1 bestselling
autobiography, "Rogue Warrior," reverberated through the highest
levels of the U.S. government. From his exploits leading SEAL TEAM
SIX, the most effective and highly secret counterterrorist unit in
the world, to his missions penetrating the Navy's most secure
installations, Marcinko brought real-life adventure to a new level.
But, bound by government restrictions, Marcinko was forbidden to
tell the whole story. The answer was fiction -- "Rogue Warrior: Red
Cell," the take-no-prisoners bestseller with Marcinko as hero. Now
the Rogue Warrior's back and he's hotter than ever, in a knockout
novel of courage and nonstop action.
Under deep coverf, on direct orders from the Oval Office, the
Rogue Warrior and his GREEN TEAM of U.S. Navy SEALs have slipped
overseas to snatch a terrorist and bring him to justice in an
American courtroom. But events divert him to another mission. In
Portsmouth, England, an aircraft carrier has been sabotaged.
Thirty-six are killed -- including the British Admiral of the
Fleet, and the American Chief of Naval Operations, one of the few
friends the Rogue Warrior had left in the Navy. Marcinko elbows his
way onto the case, where he discovers a SEAL's worst nightmare: a
transnational terror network in the making, and no one paying
attention. A holy war is brewing -- en elusive, modern-day Saladin,
whose hunger for power is matched by his cruel genius, has taken
control of a vast, violent religious movement that is encircling
the globe, growing in strength, and lethally zeroing in on the
West.
Defeating that global menace will be thesupreme test of
Marcinko's deadly GREEN TEAM, a top-secret unit that operates
outside the U.S. military's chain of command. But others don't want
Marcinko and his SEALs prowling and growling where they could
actually do some good. Missions are compromised. Men die. Secrets
are leaked. Governments are embarrassed. In London and in
Washington, the political and military wolves look for a
sacrificial lam -- and its Dick Marcinko they select for the
slaughter.
For the Rogue Warrior -- always a renegade and now a fugitive --
it's time to declare a holy war of his own. The enemy may have the
ultimate weapon of terror, but the men of the GREEN TEAM has

Shalt Win at All Cost!
