Rogue Warrior: Domino Theory

De: Richard Marcinko, Jim DeFelice

Narrado por: Peter Ganim

When the Rogue Warrior travels to India to help supervise security arrangements for the upcoming Commonwealth Games, he and his team find themselves up to their skivvies in terrorists of all types - Pakistanis. But it’s not just the Games that are being targeted for disruption: Demo Dick and his young bucks uncover a plot to steal all seventy nuclear warheads the Indians have amassed for war against the Pakistanis.

The Rogue Warrior must overcome various obstacles to prevent disaster: a high-tech remote-controlled attack helicopter that makes the Apache look like a child’s toy, an ominous chemical factory about to go boom, and tea and crumpets with the Queen. (We're just kidding about the Queen.)

Marcinko and DeFelice sprinkle the action with trademark Rogue Warrior humor and non-PC asides in the latest installment of the best-selling series. As usual, the plot mixes fact with fiction, and incorporates some of the original SEAL Team 6 skipper’s recent experiences in India.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“The most colorful, hell-raising, bomb-throwing ex-SEAL commander of them all.” ( Playboy)

great listen,

good story telling, easy to follow, with funny buts added to normal seal macho story.

awesome series bad naration

I really enjoy the series but the narrator makes a action book completely uninteresting. He sounds as bored reading it as I was listening to it. completely destroyed this audiobook

Missing the Rogue Warrior himself.

I’m sure Peter Ganim has delivered great reading if other books—he’s just not the right reader for Richard Marcinco’s books. After listening to the Rogue Warrior read his own books and feeling the emersion that one can experienced only by hearing the intangible— The true spirit of U.S. Navy Seals, steady, practiced and unwavering commitment to undertake and finish the job as told by one who had served in every role and, who requires no embellishment, drama or fanfare. Ganim delivers none of that this reading—instead he is over-dramatic to the degree that many seals and others come across as very in-seal like, even immature. He has different character voices which often sound so similar it’s hard to make character distinctions and, his foreign accents after so cliché they make those come across as slow and ignorant—by all of which I’m so distracted that i can’t enjoy the story. I’m not deterred by this particular reading and I have most of your books so i can always just read it myself.

Terrible narration

The narrator has a drier than necessary style that almost makes it appear he is mocking the authors.

At His "Roguish" Best

Where does Rogue Warrior: Domino Theory rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Marcinko & DeFelice rate up there with Clancy and Cussler, with added humor andan attitude only arrived at by having "been there and done that".

What other book might you compare Rogue Warrior: Domino Theory to and why?

Clive Cussler's "Oregon Files" books. Similar action and an equally (although fictional) engaging main character.

What about Peter Ganim’s performance did you like?

Well read, good pacing, understanding of Marcinko 's own delivery, and a pretty good grasp of accents. Doesn't make an integral female voice sound like a transvestite!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Not written with that emotion an intended result.

Any additional comments?

Simply pure escapism. When I desire erudite prose, I choose another author. When I want good fun, fast action, and irrepressible manliness "Demo Dick" does just fine.

Great book, Fast paced, full of action thriller.

I love me some Richard Marcinko. All of his novel satisfy. Once I start reading I can't put it down till I'm finished.

Ok - Little like Clive Cussler meets SEAL Team 6

If you like Demo Dick Marcinko , the sharkman, you'll enjoy this.

It does get a bit madcap but was enjoyable.

Love Marcinko but the narrator just did not help

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Marcinko going back to reading his own books

What was most disappointing about Richard Marcinko and Jim DeFelice ’s story?

THe narrator needed to be like Marcinko I tried 3 times to read it and could not get through it. I guess Marchinko is the only good one for his the gruff and rough way he puts into it

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Peter Ganim?

Marcinko or someone close to him and his style

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

I don't know, I love Marcinko I have all his books but I tried 3 times and could get threw it because of the narrator
