Dictator's Ransom.

The free world
will never be the same...

Thank God.

Dictator's Ransom is set mostly in North Korea, though a good bit takes place in China and Japan, and of course the good ol’ U.S. of A.

As usual, it mixes fact and fiction – things that happened with things that didn't, and, as Dick likes to put it, fiction with prediction . . .

The basic plot has to do with Korea’s decision to disband its nuclear arsenal. Naturally, things are a bit more complicated than that. I’m not supposed to give anything away, but let’s just say the Rogue Warrior eats monkey brains with Kim Jong-il

Lately some people have been asking which book in the Rogue Warrior series is my favorite. I think they’re expecting me to name one of the books I worked on, and hell yeah, I hope everyone will read them all, but my personal favorite is the very first book, Rogue Warrior, which Dick wrote with John Weisman. That book, based on Dick’s (early) service to our country, was an instant classic. I’d highly recommend it to anyone interested in thrillers, military fiction, SEALs and especially the history of the Vietnam War. It really tells it like it was.

Plus, it's a pisser.

Incidentally, though I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting John Weisman, I’ve always been a fan not only of the early Rogue books but his stand-alones as well.

India and Pakistan are contemplating getting rid of their nuclear weapons . . .
and the terrorists know just where they should go.

The critics claim it's great

and you should read it -

Hey, @#$#$ them - read it anyway.

According to Publisher Weekly:

The wisecracks, gun battles, and explosions are pretty much nonstop in this fine Rogue Warrior installment, just as in previous entries in this long-running thriller series featuring Marcinko's fictional alter ego (Seize the Day, etc.). The Indian government has hired Red Cell International, Marcinko's security company, to provide security for the 2010 Commonwealth Games. Demolition Dick and his team have organized a secret Indian special forces unit known as Special Squadron Zero. Their first mission, an attack on the terrorist cell India for Islam, is a success. Then comes a stream of failures that dogs the group, indicating a tough, tenacious, and resourceful enemy and quite probably a traitor in their midst. Marcinko provides all the usual ingredients for a Rogue Warrior operation: seasoned fighters, cool, high-tech weapons, a cruel foe, beautiful sexy women, furious fire fights, hard drinking, and plenty of smart-ass commentary. Who could ask for more? That Marcinko, a former Navy SEAL, has received a lot of media attention in the wake of the operation that killed Osama bin Laden may boost sales. (May)

And now in paperback:

With Fidel Castro on his deathbed, the CIA recruits Demo Dick to impersonate him for a phony video will. Murphy intrudes. Goatfucks quickly ensue.

On sale at fine bookstores everywhere.

At the not so fine places, too.

A special note to would-be readers of Domino Theory . . . it's come to our attention that many outlets have SOLD OUT of the hardcover edition and are having trouble getting more from the warehouse.

If it's any consolation - so are we! We're scrambling hard to find for books for several planned events.

We deeply apologize for this problem. The publisher is working on it. In the meantime, on behalf of Dick and myself, we greatly appreciate all the readers and fans who have presented us with this "problem. Hopefully, it will have been corrected by the time you read this. (On-line ordering seems to be the best at the moment.)
