First Blood - David Morrell

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.
