Description
'NOBODY DOES IT BETTER THAN DAVID MORRELL' LEE CHILD
One war waged against one man: RAMBO
First came the man: a young wanderer in a fatigue coat and long hair. Then came the legend, as John Rambo sprang from the pages of FIRST BLOOD to take his place on the world's cultural landscape.
This remarkable novel pits a young, disillusioned and ragged Vietnam veteran against a small-town cop who has no idea whom he is dealing with - or how far Rambo will take him into a life-and-death struggle through the woods, hills and caves of rural Kentucky.
From best-selling author David Morrell, this is the critically acclaimed thriller that launched the cultural phenomenon, Rambo.
'Morrell writes action scenes like nobody's business.' New York Times Book Review
'An absolute master of the thriller.' Dean Koontz, #1 New York Times bestselling author
'The finest thriller writer living today, bar none.' Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author
