   _From New York Times bestselling author David Morrell comes the novel upon
  which the box office superhit Rambo was based. First came the man: a young
  wanderer in a fatigue coat and long hair. Then came the legend, as John Rambo
  sprang up 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._
