Rating: Summary: The Crow - Tom Clancy-Style Review: One of my favorite books from Clancy, looking back on it now it reminds me greatly of that 1990's movie The Crow. It has quite a few similarites:1) The main character is killed by the villain (or in this case, left for dead). 2) His loved one is brutally violated and murdered. 3) He returns and exacts his revenge on the villain's cronies one by one in imaginative ways. And, just like The Crow, this story has heart and real emotion. Clark is no machine. His pregnant first wife was killed in a tragic, horrific car accident while he was away on assignment. Now, Pam is killed. Twice, he has been violently robbed of love - only this time, he can do something about it. Great, amazing story of vigilante justice.
Rating: Summary: An engrossing "John Clark" novel Review: This story is a favorite among many Tom Clancy fans. Chronilogically, this is the first story to take place in the "Jack Ryan Universe", although it's only a two page scene where an 18 year old Jack discusses going into the Marines that we see the hero of the Clancy novels. The rest of the novel centers around CIA operative, instructor, and all around bad-ass John Clark. We get to see what brought Clark into the CIA in the first place, as well as learn why is true past has been kept such a secret in the course of this story, which takes place during the '70s. Much of this novel is a story about revenge. Picture a Navy Seal with a vendetta, and some of the outcome is obvious. But what Clark is doing is highly illegal, and police investigators are closing in. And Clark's expertise and military experience get him called in as an advisor, and later operative, in a daring mission to rescue POW's in Vietnam. Since he appears later, you obviously know John Clark survived. But until you read this book, you don't know Clark.
Rating: Summary: Without Remorse Review: I recommend this book to anyone who hasn't read any of Tom Clancy's books. Talk about a ride from start to finish you will root for the good guy. I hated to see the story end, but this would be a great movie to be made. I have seen John Clark in earlier books by Clancy, but totally understand the real John Clark after reading this book. READ THIS BOOK, and all of his other ones too! Without Remorse deserves 10 STARS. I am a late bloomer, but would recommend this to anyone who hasn't read any of Tom Clancy's books.

Rating: Summary: Awesome Review: This book is great. It kept me wanting to turn the page after page. The beginning was alittle slow but that is in all books. It picked up the pace. Tom Clancy did a great job and whenever i think of this book I think of a movie. That's how good he was at describing everything. I still think I watched a movie and not read a book. Great Job here Mr. Clancy
Rating: Summary: Without Remorse is sexy sweet Review: Without Remorse was my first Tom Clancy book, but I was very impressed. The book was very exciting from the opening all the way to the end. The way he throws in his descriptions into the ideas of secret ops is also very entertaining to keep the readers very hooked onto this book.
Rating: Summary: Clancy at His prime Review: This is the Tom Clancy before the horrible Red Rabbit and the long and also horrible the bear and the Dragon. What I mean is that this is Tom Clancy at his best. This is my fav Clancy novel. It is about John Kelly whose wife has just died, and months meets a woman who he finds out had a terrible past. He tries to help her but then she dies also and Kelly sets out to punish the men who did that to her. Meanwhile there are American soldiers trapped in a Vietnamese camp and the American Government wants Kelly to help them rescue them. It is an action packed novel. If you like Tom Clancy novels, this is one novel you must not miss. To my opinion this is Clancy's best novel.
Rating: Summary: Without Remorse is full of remorse Review: This book was great! It's by the renowned author Tom Clancy. This book includes much more character development than his previous books (although that's not saying all that much). Without Remorse tells the story of ex-navy S.E.A.L. John Kelly (S.E.A.L. means sea air land) and his rise to become the C.I.A. legend Mr. Clark. This story takes place during the Vietnam War. It starts out with the sort of generic action story of man loses his wife/friend/partner and then goes outside of the system to avenge the death of his wife/friend/partner, but this story has a certain more creative spark than your common action story. The action is well done in full Clancy form, and you really do feel for the characters in this book. I for one love this book, but its length (750 pages) might scare others away. It would be a tragedy for anyone to miss this great story. True five star material!
Rating: Summary: Gripping to the Last Page! Review: After reading Red Rabbit last year, I've decided to read all of the Jack Ryan books in storyline chronological order. This is set in the late 1960's, early 1970's. All I can say is WOW! I'm ready to read more.
Rating: Summary: Without Remorse Review: Tom Clancy has always impressed me with his knowledge of weapons, mechanics and politics. This book shows a new side of Mr Clancy. This book should be called "The Making of Clarke. This book takes you on the journey of Clarkes life. It tells not only of the events and people that change a man, but the man himself struggling with the changes. This is a must for Clancy fans!
