This third book in the Rogue Warrior series, in which the Rogue Warrior goes up against fundamentalist terrorists, spent four weeks on PW's bestseller list.
Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From Library Journal
Marcinko's Rogue Warrior (LJ 2/1/92), a surprise best seller, was-ostensibly-a nonfiction account of his exploits as a Navy SEAL. Subsequently, in Rogue Warrior II: Red Cell and in this latest volume, he recasts himself as fictional hero of top-secret military adventures.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great read with eerie similarities to today's headlines., September 20, 1998

By	Manny "mannysm" (Florida) - See all my reviews

The weirdest thing about this book is that the beginning is so true-to-life. The book was written several years ago, but the story is very much in sync with what is going on in the world today. This is my fifth Marcinko book and it's one of his best. It's his second fiction work, a follow up to Rouge Warrior: Red Cell, which is the main reason I didn't give it five stars. The action scenes in Green Team are much more exciting than Red Cell, but the plot just doesn't stand up to the latter. It develops at a break neck speed, but its quality fluctuates right up to the end. First time Marcinko readers will probably get hooked, just like I did with Rogue Warrior: Task Force Blue, only to be more pleased with the discovery of his first and second books. Marcinko's crossing of the thin line between reality and fiction might annoy some readers who are not used to his style, but I think it's a very original welcomed breather from the "2+2=4" formulas of other action books. Marcinko is not the writer Tom Clancy is, but then again, Tom Clancy is not the warrior Marcinko is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Action Packed From Start To Finish!, June 19, 2001

By	Melvin Hunt (Cleveland,, Texas United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

One thing that you can say about one of Marcinko's books is that they are not at all boring. He is able to call upon his SEAL training and experience to put together an interesting story.Some of his dealings in this book are close to what you read in the newspapers today. His knowledge of weapons and their use also add to his ability to spin an action packed story. His action team is also made up of some interesting characters. You would also have to commend his portrayal of villains. As can be said many times over the action in this book is nonstop. Buy this book and read it. It certainly is not boring.

5.0 out of 5 stars 100% pure testosterone., April 14, 2000

By	Curtis G (OC, CA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Green Team (Rogue Warrior Series) (Hardcover)

I'll admit to this guilty pleasure: I love the Rogue Warrior books. Not because they're great literature, but because they're just plain fun. I'm a Marine combat vet, so I can usually detect the (very) fuzzy line between military fact and fiction, but with Marcinko's books I throw up my hands in the amphibious salute and just go with it. Demo Dick's literary swagger is intoxicating, and his larger than life character is THE male archetype. All of us guys want to pump iron at Rogue Manor, throw down the double Bombays, and go shooting and looting with the SEALs' best.

It's not "the best book I've ever read," nor is it the SPECWAR primer that Rogue Warrior is. But for some unadulterated macho fun, Green Team (like the others in the series) can't be beat.
