this one of the strongest books out of any in the series. i'd tell everyone to give it a shot. cause there's some bad @#$% "you no what" that goes down. and that's all i'm going to say!
Excellent!Another splendid,mind-boggling novel from Clancy October 22, 2008

The twists and turns of the plot creates a mind bending exprerience for the readers. Clancy made his main character, Kelly, even more human than before. Clancy made it sure that the readers would feel Kelly's psychological and emotional tremors. So for me, this is another story I know I can tell my kids.
Great Tom Clancy Backstory for Great Characters October 7, 2008
Michael Mandaville (California, USA)
One of my favorites heroes, besides Jack Ryan, in Tom Clancy's books is John Clark. He is a dark figure with a mysterious past. He's a man admired for his action and his word. He works in black ops but has his own moral code. Clark is a man of action. This book essentially covers Clark's past. His girlfriend was murdered by Baltimore drug dealers who raped her while slowly asphyxiating her with a plastic bag. A horrific death that profoundly affects Clark. But he doesn't mope nor sit idly by. This ex-SEAL sets out upon a course of justice. He dispenses justice in the only way these murderous scum understand - by executing the drug dealers who peddle their death and addiction to adults and children. Clancy uses the story to give us greater backstory on Jack Ryan. His father, Emmet Ryan, is a detective trying to track down the killer of these drug dealers. But Clark keeps moving forward `Without Remorse'.
Clancy at his best October 7, 2008

This is one of my favorites. One of my favorite types of hero's are the Anti-hero variety. Such as the Punisher and Batman. John Clark fits the bill of the typical anti-hero and Clancy did a wonderful job in creating the transformation character of John Kelly into John Clark.
I read this novel after I got hurt and it was a page turner for me, it allowed me to take my mind off my present problem. This also served a second purpose, which is why I like the anti-heros, who would not like to have the ability and means to go after people who hurt you and do it very well and call it "justice", this leap is great, because normally we could never do such a thing and when a good novel comes around and does that for us, we have to pause and read it. I would never condone such actions in this book, but, nevertheless, it is always fun to see bad guys get what they deserve. And Clancy does an excellent job!

For this review let me first start off by thanking the positive reviewers of Without Remorse here on Amazon! This was quite a find. I am usually more prone to enjoy science fiction and some of the classics in my reading habits, but decided to branch out and try some of the more popular mainstream authors I've seen on the bestseller lists over the years. Knowing what a force Clancy is through movies and video games, plus seeing all the positive accolades here on Amazon, led me to find this book and it really hit the mark. Very engaging and entertaining read from start to finish. This one is personal and will put you into the shoes of someone facing some of the most horrific scenarios a human could ever imagine on multiple levels. From the tragic deaths of loved ones to Vietnam P.O.W.s and Cold War espionage, this book has a lot to offer. I liked that it showed how a good man confronts the harsh realities of the seedier, dare I say evil, elements of society and world events that most average people won't ever have to (or want to) face head-on. Clancy creates a sympathetic hero in John Kelly that I think most people would like to be like if faced with the same situations where corrupt, crime-infiltrated law enforcement won't cut it. It is truly sad that the situations presented in this book exist but it is good to know there are people like John Kelly out there willing to do something about them, if not as individuals then as the organizations and other institutions that protect our country and communities. Thomas Harris' book Hannibal Rising is quite similar in many ways. In real life justifying murder out of revenge isn't something I want to attempt, but it makes for great entertainment and catharsis. It's just like watching or reading about the good Jedis chopping the enemy down with lightsabers; symbolic of what most people would want to do to the evil or injustice in themselves or the outside world. Can't wait for the movie and won't forget reading the compression chamber scene in my tent while camping on a rainy surf trip to Baja last winter. My book is still bloated from soaking up the rain!
