First
Blood
by
David Morrell |
Ballentine
|
1972
1st Ballentine edition paperback, November 1982
|
"Nobody in the small Kentucky town
knew
his name was Rambo. All they knew
was that
he was a stranger...
and that he looked like trouble. Rambo was trouble. The Army had
trained him in the art
of killing and now he
did not know how to stop."
|
The novel was
written a decade before it was made into a movie. David Morrell
is one of my favorite writers [and has been since I first read this
book in 1973]. If you haven't read First Blood, you
should! |
