About this listen

The most dangerous man in the world is back.

David Morrell's First Blood introduced Rambo, who joined the ranks of Sherlock Holmes, Tarzan, James Bond, and Harry Potter as an international thriller icon. In this sequel, Rambo is in prison for his one-man war against a small-town police chief. His former commanding officer, Colonel Trautman, arrives with a promise to release him, with two conditions. First, Rambo must return to the Vietnamese prison camp from which he escaped and find the missing Americans rumored to be prisoners there. The second condition? Don't rescue the prisoners. Only bring back photographs. Under no circumstances engage the enemy. For Rambo, the first part is difficult. But the second is impossible. This novelization and the film have many differences. Listen to the story that the film could have had.

"David Morrell is, to me, the finest thriller writer living today, bar none."
--Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The Columbus Affair

"Morrell, an absolute master of the thriller, plays by his own rules and leaves you dazzled."
--Dean Koontz, New York Times bestselling author of 77 Shadow Street

"The father of the modern action novel."
--Vince Flynn, New York Times bestselling author of Kill Shot

Loved this book brilliant from start to finish:)

David Morrell wrote another brilliant book, narrated so well by Eric G. Dove, loved the intro before the book started :)

Worth a listen

Having not seen the film for many years, and having read several Luke warm novelisations previously of other films, I was sceptical.
However I was pleasantly surprised, reminded of how good the story is in its pure simplicity.
Narration is good enough for the story and it’s a great title to just listen to whilst going about doing other things.

Really entertaining, well worth a listen

Great entertainment, like the film. The author’s mild obsession with private parts is a little odd, but since it’s for a mature audience anyway I guess it fits in.

More slaughter

Well written but pretty stylised in places. From the major who splutters his frustrations at Rambo's unorthodox ways to the begrudging respect Rambo gathers from all around him it is often rather predictable. Good fun though, it is what it is!

Awesome as always.

Amazing listen brings more emotion than the film.
Just don't listen to the intro if you don't know the original ending to first blood.
