Synopsis

Fidel Castro may be on his deathbed, but he's still scheming against the U.S. in Richard Marcinko and Jim DeFelice's The Rogue Warrior

When Marcinko's "friend," the head of the CIA, asks him to spend a little quality time in Cuba, the Rogue Warrior finds there's no way to say no. Once there, Marcinko and company discover that Fidel Castro is on his deathbed. Which wouldn't be so bad, except that he's planned a catastrophic surprise for the U.S. as his going-away present. The Rogue Warrior must find out the nature of that little surprise and thwart it before Castro kicks the bucket.

About the Author:

RICHARD MARCINKO is a living, breathing hero--he was honored with the silver star and four bronze stars for valor, along with two Navy Commendation medals. After serving in Vietnam, he started and commanded SEAL Team 6, the Navy's anti-terrorist group, and Red Cell, a high-level anti-terrorist unit whose exploits, fictionalized for security and legal reasons, have formed the basis of his novels. Besides an active speaking and consulting calendar, Marcinko keeps his hand in the field as the president of a private international security company. He lives in Warrington, Virginia.

JIM DeFELICE is the author of many military based thriller novels and is a frequent collaborator with Stephen Coonts, Larry Bond, and Richard Marcinko, among other New York Times bestselling authors.

From Booklist:

Marcinko’s latest exploits as the Rogue Warrior, aka Demo Dick, take him and his team to Cuba. Initially, they are hired to make a DVD with Dick impersonating Fidel Castro, since he looks a lot like the Cuban dictator. To the team’s dismay, they must travel south to make a switch of real footage of Castro with their phony film in enemy territory. Of course, everything doesn’t go as planned. As a result, they stumble upon a terrifying plot by Castro to release a deadly virus in the U.S. after he dies. Can the Rogue Warrior and his team save the day? The appeal of this series lies in Marcinko’s sense of humor mixed with traditional thriller elements, creating a laugh-out-loud read that somehow melds the wackiness of Janet Evanovich with a military thriller a la Clancy. In addition, this time the writers spotlight other members of the team, creating a more well-rounded and intriguing story line. Both fans and newcomers—providing the latter have a taste for this sort of thing—will enjoy the show. --Jeff Ayers
