" Without Remorse-this is the first book, chronologically speaking, of the Jack Ryan series. It introduces John Clark, and gives you a thorough background of this amazing individual. John Clark becomes intricately involved in the Jack Ryan series from this point forward. This is definitely a must read book! "

" The backstory of Clark, my favorite of all Tom Clancy's characters. More graphic than most of his novels. A story that somehow had me pulling for the bad guy and not the police. Strange, for a former prosecutor. "

" The focus of this book is John Clark (John Kelly) instead of Jack Ryan. He kicks ass and takes names. Great story that I couldn't put down, but hey: that's an endorsement from an unabashed fan of the genre and the author. Grain of salt, anyone? "

" A look at the origins of John Clark, who first appeared in The Sum of All Fears as the field agent in charge of the clandestine anti-drug operation in Columbia. He goes on a one-man rampage against the New Orleans underworld after the brutal slaying of his fiance, and in the end is "recruited" by Admiral Greer, Jack Ryan's boss. "

" One long read, but if you get into the story and the suspense of wondering whether John Kelly (A.K.A. Mr. Clark) will be able to survive his own ruthlessness. Set during the vietnam era, this story details how Kelly stumbles across a drug ring that is using woman as couriers--and mistreating them horribly. When one of those woman--a personal friend of Kelly's--is brutally murdered he assigns himself a new mission--to take down the drug ring and deal out his own kind of justice. But at the same time he is recruited by the CIA for a top secret mission to free some prisoners in Vietnam. The suspense comes from wondering whether his ruthlessness will win out over his decency--and whether his double life will ever become known, and what might happen if it does. Good, long suspense ride, though a bit disturbing at times. "

" Not impressed with this one at all. This book has too many plots for one book. Not very interested at all with the whole drug ring/Pam story line. I think it is not necessary to include this into the John Clark back story. The whole book should have been just about Clark rescuing the POW's.
