Summary: First-time Reader of Clancy
Comment: Without Remorse is about John Kelly and his trasformation into John Clark. Kelly is ex-Navy who ends up deeply entangled in the fate of a drug ring, while at the same time assisting in the rescue of American POWs in Vietnam. The purpose of the book is to show the reasons and depth of the transformation of the character, John Clark. The story takes place in the late 1960s in Maryland and Vietnam. This is the first book by Tom Clancy that I have read all the way through, and I enjoyed it. What I liked most about it is the central character, John Clark (Kelly). John Clark is a character who is highly skilled in covert military operations, including explosives. He is an experienced ship pilot and a man of moral character. The book is well written, and the writer is highly knowledgable about the subjects he discusses. However, there were times that I found his repitition of certain phrases annoying. Since I enjoyed this book and I liked reading about John Clark, I plan to read Rainbow Six as well.

Summary: Clancy has given us a new hero, and his name is Mr. Clark!
Comment: This book was fantastic. Never have I read a book, and become so angry with the villains as I did with this book. After reading what the drug dealers and pimps did to their working girls, and then what the Vietnamese did to the American POW's, I was hoping that Clancy would allow our hero to have his vengeance. Clark (John Kelly in this story) is the definition of nemesis in this book. While he shows his skills as a SpecOps alumni, (ex Navy SEAL, not Marine as told in an earlier review) he also shows his human side, and that he is not some run of the mill mindless killer robot that the CIA has cooked up. He has feelings, and shows that sometimes he does not really like his job, but he knows he has to do it and he does it brilliantly. I like that Clancy took us into a more humane story and not a techno thriller. Clancy also introduces some of his other well known characters, like Admiral Greer. He was a character known in the older Ryan novels, and played by James Earl Jones in the movies. Also, Robert Ritter, one of the made-out-to-be bad people in Clear and Present Danger. In addition, for you Jack Ryan fans, Ryan himself even has a small cameo in the latter half of the story. John Clark is one of the better characters in fiction books today in my opinion. I would love to see a movie made about this. Moreover, I think Liev Schreiber would be perfect for the role. He played John Clark brilliantly in Sum of all Fears. I read this book twice and never get tired of it. It is a fascinating read, and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys Tom Clancy.

Summary: One of Clancy's best.
Comment: "Without Remorse" is one of Tom Clancy's greatest novels. Clancy readers were already familiar with the John Clark character from several books Clancy's Jack Ryan series. "Without Remorse" explores Clark's past, following the transformation of Vietnam veteran/ex-Navy Seal John Kelly into CIA agent John Clark. This is a fascinating book, and although Clancy has passed the torch in the Jack Ryan series to Jack Jr., I'd love to see some more books featuring John Clark.
