First Blood

The Daily Express called it 'the most chilling story of a manhunt I have ever read' - the classic thriller that became a worldwide bestseller in 22 countries over 20 years and inspired a phenomenally successful series of movies. If you know Rambo only from the movies, be prepared for a unique literary experience...

Once they were soldiers. Rambo, the ragged young man dressed in buckskin and jeans. And Teasle, the middle-aged Chief of Police. Both have been trained to kill: Rambo in Vietnam, Teasle in Korea. Now, without warning, they are deadly adversaries, locked on a path leading ever deeper and wider towards and unavoidable maelstrom of violence and destruction.
