When the Rogue Warrior and his elite SEAL team, Task Force Blue, storm a hijacked 727 in Key West, a hostage is killed -- and Marcinko must pay. Facing court-martial and removal from the Navy, his is recuited by the Defense Intelligence Agency to erradicate a secret right-wing terrorist infrastructure. Combating a brutal enemy force, and pursued by the FBI, Marcinko maneuvers through a political, military, and bureaucratic minefield, adhering to the ultimate Commandment of SpecWar -- there are no rules -- win at all cost!
Home-grown terrorists willing to kill Americans to create a government in their own fanatical image have breached the Pentagon's security. The Defense Intelligence Agency has only one weapon left in its arsenal--Marcinko and his elite SEAL team, Task Force Blue. Now, accused of murder and pursued by the FBI, the Rogue Warrior is primed, on the prowl, and ready for the kill. National ads. Online promo. HC: Pocket Books. (Fiction--Espionage/Thriller)
Following retirement as a US Navy SEAL, Marcinko embarked on an active if fictive career as a handyman for the military (his vastly entertaining exploits are chronicled in such blood-and- thunder opera as Rogue Warrior: Green Team, 1995). This time around, the salty Vietnam vet and his handpicked crew are detailed to staunch the illicit flow of heavy weapons and ammunition from government arsenals. Thanks to the cyberspace talents of a young petty officer who can hack into Pentagon computers, Task Force Blue soon learns its ageless leader is the designated fall guy in a power struggle pitting would-be usurpers against constituted authority. Despite the best efforts of their establishment foes, Marcinko and his merry men track a truckload of stolen arms from Detroit to Tampa, from whence it is shipped to an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. They storm the offshore drilling platform, which is owned by billionaire L.C. Strawhouse, and learn that the rig is used to supply ordnance to disaffected militia groups and drug gangs throughout the country. Back on dry land, the seagoing irregulars also discover that the ultraconservative Strawhouse (who tries to enlist Marcinko in his mad cause) has been equipping domestic terrorists in hopes their lethal rampages might permit a reactive putsch that could put him in the White House. While by no means taken with the incumbent chief executive or his wimpy underlings, Marcinko pursues the man who would be America's king to a heavily guarded command post in the southern California desert. In a climactic confrontation inside the fortress, he exposes and foils Strawhouse's sinister plot before dispatching its architect in decidedly imaginative fashion.
Another walk on the wild side with the Marcinko mob.

The thing I learned in this book is about servalence techniques. Using multiple cars to follow a person. From what he said it isn't what you see on TV as to how to follow someone. Too bad someone got japped in this one see ya in heaven cherry enders but I liked the revenge method done on the billionare. Very funny and very sadistic. Got three more books to go. Of course very good book. They make mention of the insecurity within the US computer databases. Wonder if terrorists know what marcinko knows. Anyways a very good book.

Rogue Warrior Task Force Blue is a very exciting book. The book will hold your attention all the way to the last page. Marcinko incopasses new and old seals in the book. I have read all of his books and this is the best yet.

Richard Marcinko once again proves he and his SEALs are shootin' and lootin' warriors! Up against American militiamen, Dick and his men are placed in the Gulf of Mexico, the swamplands of Florida, and The deserts of the West. Biological warfare is about to break out in the U.S.!
