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.

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

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.

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.

Summary: Revenge without remorse....
Review: Tom Clancy has created several fictional heroes that are at the heart of his many novels. One, of course, is John Patrick Ryan, who has served his country as a Marine, CIA officer, National Security Adviser, and President of the United States. With the exception of Red Storm Rising (a book that is not set in Clancy's "Ryan-verse"), Jack Ryan appears or is talked about in every novel from The Hunt for Red October to The Teeth of the Tiger.The other major character Clancy readers have come to admire is John Clark, a man who works for the other side of the Agency as a paramilitary officer. Whether he is in Colombia using a laser target designator to help bomb a Medellin Cartel member's mansion or leading a multinational antiterrorist team called Rainbow, Clark is the type of man our government needs to use while denying his existence. But John Clark has a past wrapped in mystery, one his family doesn't know much about and is a closely guarded secret. For John Clark was once ex-SEAL John T. Kelly, Vietnam veteran, avid diver and sailor. But when Kelly's girlfriend is brutally murdered by a Baltimore drug lord's henchmen, the otherwise peacable and war-weary Kelly vows revenge. Dispensing his own version of street justice relentlessly and without remorse, Kelly must not only avoid being killed by the drug dealers, but he also has to evade the dogged detective work of Baltimore cop Emmett Ryan, a World War II vet and father of the future President. Adding to his already complicated life, Admiral James Greer recruits Kelly to participate in a daring rescue mission into North Vietnam. But when a radicalized American antiwar activist gets wind of this secret military operation, events will drive John Terence Kelly down a path that he never intended to take. Although published 11 years after The Hunt for Red October, this taut and thrilling novel is the first chapter of the long-running Jack Ryan saga. If you are just entering the Ryan-verse, read this entertaining book first.

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!

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.

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!

Summary: Without doubt the BEST Clancy novel so far (2003).
Review: Life is full of paradox, the king of tecnothrillers, and in some aspects as profetic as Jules Verne in his works (but things happen faster now...and he could see them becaming reality in his life), will be probably justly remembered for an "historicall fictional work", less techno and more thriller, (well I guess the end of the Vietnam War is far enough when writing on the early nineties about it).
I have read all the truly Clancy's and the saga of Ryan/Clark has it's ups and downs but are mostly page turners, good reads, entertaining, and well researched stuff (or at least it semms so wich is about equal), other minor series as Powerplay and Network pale in comparaison (but are good on their own, mind, if poorly researched, the one dealing with Spain is so far of the point to be sci-fi...).
The "ifs", "could haves" etc in WITHOT REMORSE and the interconecting plots are at his best in this novel, and `probably it's more easy to be "technical" about the past then about the future, and once this is put aside you have a poweful story, crude and simple about men&women fighting evil ways (not so far from a good western but isn't he a late cowboy anyway?).
A MUST READ AND PROBABLY HIS BEST WORK SO FAR. (I've read it three times at least and keeps the test of time quite well...)
