When Marcinko's "friend", the head of the CIA, asks him to spend a little quality time in Cuba, the Rogue Warrior finds there's no way to say no. Once there, Marcinko and company discover that Fidel Castro is on his deathbed. Which wouldn't be so bad, except that he's planned a catastrophic surprise for the U.S. as his going-away present. The Rogue Warrior must find out the nature of that little surprise and thwart it before Castro kicks the bucket.

I'd say this book is tied with "Dictator's Ransom" (Demo Dick's adventures with Kim Jong-Il in North Korea) as having the most outlandish and implausible plot of all the Rogue Warrior novels. In this one, Marcinko must impersonate none other than Fidel Castro, and even eventually go into Cuba and meet up with "The Beard" himself, with the infamous Mr. Murphy (or Murphy's Law infamy) dogging Dick and his intrepid teammates (Shotgun, Mongoose, Doc Tremblay, Trace Dahlgren, and Matthew "Junior" Loring) all the way. Implausible (like I already said), and furthermore, Demo Dik repeatedly violates his "Thou shalt never assume" Commandment (from his Rogue Warrior's Ten Commandments of SpecWar, which, along with the Glossary, have been conspicuously absent from the Rogue novels since Jim DeFelice replaced John Weisman as Marcinko's co-author), as he uses the "assuming" word over and over.And as an Air Force veteran, I realize the author doesn't respect what he calls the "Air Farce" [sic], but I wish he'd at least have the courtesy to spell our base names correctly; our base in Panama City is spelled "Tyndall," not "Tyndale!"
That said, still well worth reading, for the rollicking action, humor, and biting geopolitical commentary present in all of the Rogue Warrior books, and also for its insights into Cuban history, culture, and geography. Hooyah.

Rogue Warrior Seize the Day (Audible Audio Edition) Richard Marcinko Jim DeFelice Peter Ganim Audible Studios Books Reviews
Many people have not gotten a chance to see Cuba and this gives a look at the country in a light many people don't realize, including how easy and quickly one can travel to the island if they were so inclined. Interesting story line that also gives a look into the socioeconomic area to help explain some of the reasons for the embargo. There were some interesting sways to give a view of Castro as well as his administration.
This is actually one of the series I have most enjoyed and for fans of the series I don't think you would be disappointed.
ANOTHER GOOD BOOK OF STORIES ABOUT THE NAVY SEALS. RICHARD MARCINKO WAS THE FIRST COMMANDER EVER TO PUT TOGETHER A COUNTER TERROISM UNIT FOR THE UNITED STATES. HIS SEAL TEAM SIX GOES ALL OVER THE WORLD DEFENDING OUR FREEDOM AND PROTECTION OF U.S. CITIZENS NO MATTER WHERE IN THE WORLD. THIS IS WHAT SEAL TEAM SIX DO. JUST SO YOU KNOW IT WAS SEAL TEAM SIX THAT ENDED THE MOST MANHUNT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES KILLING BIN LADIN
This is not a bad installment in the Rogue Warrior series. It does lack that knockout punch that the books used to deliver years ago. I was rather hoping for the old "salt and spice" that the previous books have delivered. If you are a fan of the RW books then I would recommend this book to you. I am an avid reader of the series and will continue to be. I did like how true to life characters were in the book. Having Fidel Castro in the story made it an interesting book. I am wondering if Saddam or Bin Laden are in the works for the next book.... I wouldn't mind reading how the Rogue Warrior sharpened his knives on their bones.... I do look forward to the next book. If you are new to the Rogue Warrior books then get your hands on the first one and catch up with the rest of us.
For many years comments have been made about the resemblance of our favorite rogue hero to ole' Fidel. It was really fun to see a whole story built around that coincidence. I thought the story was well executed, and quite believable. I appreciated the dents and dings he's suffered over the years have slowed him down a bit, something that was acknowledged and taken into account.
It was fun to see Doc Trembley back, and while I like the new team of shoot and looters I do wish some of the other old timers would return. It would make sense some of his crew from the SEAL Team 6 or Red Cell days might come into his employ. (Boomerang was always one of my favorites.)
One of the best books in the series, highly recommended.
As a long time fan of the hard-core SEAL commando, I looked forward to reading this fourteenth book in the Rouge Warrior series. As most Marcinko readers know, he resembles Fidel Castro. In this novel he uses this to his advantage as his combat crew works their magic in Cuba. There is plenty of action that readers of the Rogue Warrior books have come to expect and though I did not like this book as well as some other Rogue Warrior novels; nevertheless, it is still a pretty good read.
In conclusion, if you are into the Rogue Warrior series you will enjoy reading this book.
Rating 4 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Season of the Warrior A poetic tribute to warriors)
The Rogue Warrior and his shooters have my adrenaline rushing non-stop. The back stories are just as much fun and interesting as the action series. Marcinko-san is one check if a leader, teacher, and warrior. I highly recommend this book and the entire Rogue Warrior book series!
Can you imagine Fidel reading this book?, which I am sure he has. Not to mention the state security aparatchki running around to cover up all of their real or fictional flaws. Sieze the Day however seems to be moving from fiction to science fiction. Dick and his team move from one fubar situation to the next with acrobatic ease and a minimum of injury. Incredible, as in not-credible, Demo Dick can speak Spanish just like a Cuban? I don't think so. Raul did not recognize his own brother, come on.
Good historical perspective on the revolution and current conditions on the island and Panama Canal. Could have mentioned that the CIA took out Che but really not central to the plot.
This book could use a map of Cuba for the reader to follow the plot and a pic of handsome Marcinko san would help also. The dialog could be spiced up with some local names for things like huts, (bohio), rum drinks,(cuba libre or mojitos), food, (Lechon, congri, arroz con pollo). A bus in Cuba btw is called a gua-gua. I like the reference to Cuban women smoking cigars which they for sure do.
The ending was a fizzle even if biological warfare was averted. What happened to Fidel? What happened to his Last Will and Testament?, (courtesy of our hero). I guess we will be back to Cuba.
I enjoyed the book.
I'd say this book is tied with "Dictator's Ransom" (Demo Dick's adventures with Kim Jong-Il in North Korea) as having the most outlandish and implausible plot of all the Rogue Warrior novels.
