We interrupt this pointless and unending travelogue for this self-congratulatory announcement:
The first review of the new Rogue Warrior book has appeared in the trade press and, by gosh, they actually like it:
Rogue Warrior: Dictator’s Ransom Richard Marcinko and Jim DeFelice. Forge, $24.95 (384p) ISBN 978-0-7653-1793-3
Bestseller Marcinko and DeFelice (Rogue Warrior: Holy Terror) deliver another rousing adventure, the 12th to star former navy SEAL Marcinko’s fictional alter ego. Dick Marcinko (aka the Rogue Warrior; aka Demo Dick) shows few signs of advancing age as he tangles with the world’s sleaziest dictator, North Korea’s Kim Jong Il. Kim, a Marcinko admirer who’s read all the Rogue books, knows that Dick’s the man to locate his missing illegitimate son, Yon Shin Jong. Dick turns down the offer with its $64 million reward until the CIA tells him that it would be a good idea to take the job. Meanwhile, longtime team member Trace Dahlgren finds that her lover, Polish helicopter pilot Ike Polorski, is in reality a Russian mobster involved in a plot to abduct Kim’s kid and trade him for a nuke. Dick is as funny and dangerous as ever, making this one of the better entries in this techno-thriller series. (Oct.)
Aw shucks....
We're putting together a website for the book - it's not actually public yet, but if you point your browser (does anyone say that any more?) to www.dictatorsransom.com you can check it out. Feedback on what the site should eventually contain is welcome. (There's some video coming and the usual bs - it's the unusual bs that interests me . . .)
