First Blood

De: David Morrell

Narrado por: Eric G. Dove

"HIS NAME WAS RAMBO AND HE WAS JUST SOME NOTHING KID FOR ALL ANYBODY KNEW."

The award-winning novel that inspired the legendary film series starring Sylvester Stallone.

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 have seen the Rambo movies, but those who haven't read the book are in for a surprise -- a critically acclaimed story of character, action, and compassion.

Great Movie Better Book

I’m thankful for the reviewers who mentioned that Chapter One should be read at the end of the book. I found thus true, especially if you’ve already seen the Movie.
I truly enjoyed this book, especially since I had a picture of each character in my mind.

Wonderful Story

If you are only familiar with the movie, give the novel a shot. It contains the depth of character and theme hinted at in the film, but explored more fully in the space of this novel.

Great story 👍, different from the screenplay

Loved it, after seeing all of the movies, it was great to read what inspired it all, a great read and a great stand alone story in itself. I couldn't put it down.

good story and performance. audible file was bad

the story and performance we're both excellent. however, the audio file seemed to be corrupt. a good 2 mins would not play in the middle and it repeatedly stopped playing over and over throughout the book.

Great book!

Well written!!! Well narrated!!! The book is better than the movie! Definitely give this book a listen!
