Dangerous times require dangerous men. And there isn't a man alive more deadly than the Rogue Warrior. Called once more to his country's service, Captain Richard "NMN" Marcinko must undertake a critical mission: uncover the hidden motives and players behind the recent attempts at the destabilization of Azerbaijan, the tiny former Soviet republic that holds the key to the oil-rich Caspian Sea.
An overland pipeline to the West has been planned, and both Russia and Iran want to control the flow. But others have their own interests in the region, including bilious billionaire Steve Sarkesian, one of the world's richest and most influential men. The Rogue Warrior knows the man is involved, but just how he ties in with the Russkies and Arabs isn't clear.
Pulling together a platoon of his best SEALs, the Rogue Warrior races to the heart of the Middle East, revealing festering layers of treachery that threaten to choke off the black gold that is America's lifeblood.
Confronted by well-trained terrorists and false-faced bureaucrats, the Rogue does what he does best -- breaking rules and cracking heads -- until the only thing left standing is justice.

"I have read all of the Marcinko books and "Echo Platoon" is more of the same. Straight up "he-man porn". If you like playing the Modern Warfare-style video games you will enjoy this book. Warning: This book is full of the nastiest language you can imagine. Fun reading if you have testicles!"
