Publisher's summary

Now a major motion picture starring Michael B. Jordan - watch now on Prime Video!

From Tom Clancy, the celebrated author of the Jack Ryan series, comes the number one New York Times best seller that puts CIA operative John Clark front and center...

His code name is Mr. Clark. His work for the CIA is brilliant, cold-blooded. and efficient...But who is he really?

In a harrowing tour de force, Tom Clancy shows how an ordinary man named John Kelly crossed the lines of justice and morality to become the CIA legend, Mr. Clark.

It is an unforgettable journey into the heart of darkness. Without mercy. Without guilt. Without remorse.

Easily in my top 5 books by Mr. Clancy.

It should be noted that I've read and/or listened to each and every book originally penned by him and not just ghost written. I would've gone 5 stars in all 3 categories save for the narrator's consistent mispronounciation of words (interlocutor and a handful of others). Overall, up there with Rainbow Six and Clear and Present Danger.

Great story. Hours of unnecessary fill.

An awesome story. Incredible detail of events. However, sometimes the detail is tiring and becomes a distraction from the actual story.

Good but too long

Read like a woman's novel, so full of minute detail that it bogged down at times. Tom Clancy is a great author, but this one was just too complex and detailed.

Epic Clancy and new characters

What made the experience of listening to Without Remorse the most enjoyable?

This was a great read mainly because of it's epic scale. This brings Clancy to the USA in a way that is unique from other Clancy books (drug trafficking meets US Navy Seal!)

What did you like best about this story?

The best part was the conflict of the main character and his inner turmoil over 'doing right' by 'doing wrong'.

What does Michael Prichard bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The reader did a great job and made it sound like it was a 1970's reader.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

If this were made into a film, the tagline would be: To Kill or not To Kill - a Navy Seal's choices in a Vietnam-filled Drug-filled world.

great book! How John Clark was born.

This book while in theory the 1st book chronologically in the "Jack Ryan" series, only mention Jack Ryan in passing. This book is about the transformation of John Kelly, Navy Seal, into John Clark, CIA Assassin. Typical Clancy book, builds slowly a good foundational story, then the pace of story picks up until it all ties together in way that makes you full, happy, and wanting more.

Almost makes justification execution believeable

He is good isn’t he, Clancy that is. He takes us into a space we know to be wrong socially but so easy to justify through the narrative. A ripping yarn which will leave you wondering just how grounded your personal beliefs are in terms of taking the law into your own hands.
