Summary: Clancy's best...a superb tale of one man's journey
Review: This is Clancy's best story yet. It revovles around John Kelly, ex-Navy SEAL, who is on a quest for revenge and is sent by the government for one last deadly mission. Unlike other Clancy books it is less technical and relies more on the character study of Kelly. It is a suspenseful tale and shows Clancy is one of the best authors of our time.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A riveting story of a man's struggle against the world
Review: A deeply thoughtful book on one man trying to find peace and revenge due to the dark nature of humanity. An extremely moving book that forces you to feel Kelly's pain and suffering. Truely a great example of Clancy's gift with plots.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Clancy at his best. I felt as if I were there.
Review: This was an excellent book and a must read for any Clancy fan or techno thriller enthusiest. As usual I felt as if I were there with Mr. Clark as he went on the hunt through out Baltimore and Vietnam. A great thriller and a definate page turner.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A snappy good novel, one of the best.
Review: "Without Remorse" is one of Tom Clancys odd novels, to me anyway. Unlike "Red Storm Rising" or "Politika", the book doesn't revole over many characters in the same boat. This book does skip around a lot, but focuses manly on one man, John Kelly. The book, in its basic sense, is about a man who's girlfriend was killed by drug dealers, and he feels he must seek revenge. I liked this book because it had the main character, Kelly, in the minds of the other characters. Some of Clancy's other books have a character that is present in over three of his books as a recuring character. It is nice to have a book that isn't hinged on the end of the world by the Russians or Arabs. It is a tale of lost love, with a hint of military action we have grown to love. "Without Remorse" is an excellent work that gets my approval.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Mediocre Effort By The Master
Review: Tom Clancy has figured out that the John Clark character is the more interesting character to write about. But this isn't it. This revenge stuff is interesting, but this isn't anywhere near his best work. The part about Clark's girlfriend is dumb.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Most action packed Clancy book to date!
Review: This book is pretty packed with action and suspense. This time at a personal level since nothing more or less than two or three dozen lives are at stake here. (The POWs, the drug-courier girls and Kelly and close associates)

In some ways 'Without Remorse' is one of Clancy's best books, going deep into the psyche of John Kelly, who, when faced with danger, reacts in a way he was trained to : cold-blooded relentless violence/killing. For Kelly it's automatic, foes have to be neutralized. He thought himself safe from the jungle over in the Far East only to discover the 'jungle' at his doorstep. So he applies the same rules of engagement he was taught to use in Vietnam.

What is OK about this book is the action and the personal element.
What lacks is the absence or at least scarcity of ambivalence in regard to comments on killing people, taking justice into one's own hands, portray of Vietnamese people and soldiers, portray of American soldiers etc.
This book is pretty much polarized, good vs. evil and such stuff. One could overlook the shades of grey, they are there, though not prominent enough in my opinion.

In many ways this book reads like an old John Wayne movie, it's heroic and unreflected or at least one-sided.
I enjoyed it pretty much none the less. It gives insight into the beginnings of the career of Mr.Clark, field operative par excellence in so many a Clancy novel. Therefore a must read for any serious Tom Clancy & Jack ryan fan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Different Clancy
Review: Yes, Clancy does write about different characters than Jack Ryan. This story was one I couldn't put down until I got to the end. Sat down with the book one Saturday morning and read it cover to cover. The hero is a little tougher than Ryan, and definitely not someone to fool with. But it's still the same old Clancy weaving his web.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ahhh...revenge, Clancy's best
Review: An awesome tale of justice the way it was meant to be. This story is a healthy departure from the clean-cut life of Jack Ryan depicted in most of the early Clancy books. This story is more personal and reveals a baser, more realistic side of a man who has the power to avenge a terrible loss.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another clancy masterpiece!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: John Clark is everything the average american man wants to be. He is human with real life rationale and feelings, but he does'nt allow the fear of consequences slow his response to what he knows he must do. A very well thought out and planned out masterpiece. A must for all!
