First came the man: a young wanderer in a fatigue coat and long hair. Then came the legend, as John Rambo sprang from the pages of First Blood to take his place in the American cultural landscape. This remarkable novel pits a young Vietnam veteran against a small-town cop who doesn't know whom he's dealing with -- or how far Rambo will take him into a life-and-death struggle through the woods, hills, and caves of rural Kentucky.
Millions saw the Rambo movies, but those who haven't read the book that started it all are in for a surprise -- a critically acclaimed story of character, action, and compassion.

RT @_DavidMorrell: As 2022 comes to a close, it brings to an end the 50th anniversary year of the publication of my debut novel, FIRST BLOOD, which introduced the world to Rambo. Hard to believe it’s been half a century. I’m thrilled that the book has never been out of print. https://t.co/1buO0X8TzZ
