Is Kim Jong-il really a fanatical fan of Dick Marcinko, the Rogue Warrior? Has the terrifying tyrant actually read every one of Marcinko's many
New York Times
bestsellers?
One thing is certain: the Rogue Warrior wants nothing to do with the brutal despot. When, in
Dictator's Ransom,
"the loathsome dwarf"—as George W. Bush derided him—invites Marcinko to the Hermit Kingdom, the Rogue Warrior instantly declines...prompting the CIA to RSVP on his behalf. Marcinko is to track down four covert nuclear warheads secreted in the Supreme Leader's palace.
More than just a thriller,
Dictator's Ransom
is a novel of electrifying energy and wicked wit.
