Sintesi dell'editore

The most dangerous man in the world is back.

David Morrell's First Blood introduced Rambo, who joined the ranks of Sherlock Holmes, Tarzan, James Bond, and Harry Potter as an international thriller icon. In this further adventure, Rambo is in exile far from home in Thailand, vowing to renounce violence and war. When his country calls him once again, he refuses to accept. But then he learns that his former commanding officer, Colonel Trautman, the only man he trusts, has been captured by the Soviets on the Afghan border during a mission that Rambo rejected. For Rambo, it's a call to arms - and a mission back into hell. This novelization and the film have many differences. Listen to the story that the film could have had.

"David Morrell is, to me, the finest thriller writer living today, bar none."
--Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The Columbus Affair 

"Morrell, an absolute master of the thriller, plays by his own rules and leaves you dazzled."
--Dean Koontz, New York Times bestselling author of 77 Shadow Street

"The father of the modern action novel."
--Vince Flynn, New York Times bestselling author of Kill Shot

Fun book!

Another great audiobook. I think the novel adds great detail about Rambo as a character that makes him a very likable hero. I never thought I'll be a Rambo fan after all these years, who knew?

Okay, the movie (which I haven't seen) came out weeks after this novel but "behind the scenes" in the introduction of this audiobook provides a glimpse of how David Morrell repeatedly starts over as often as the movie script changes. Quite fascinating how novelization works from screenplay to novel.

First Blood III takes place in Afghanistan. Rambo is already "retired" when his old commander Trautman asks him to accompany him on a trip, but he declined. Trautman was captured by the Soviets. Rambo attempts to rescue Trautman with the help of local Afghans.

So the story isn't all that original but it's entertaining! Narrated by: Eric G. Dove ~ 6hr 🎧💓

Rambo vs. the Russians - What's Not to Like?

The insight of how a novelization was necessary before on-demand is epic for Rambo III. I really enjoyed hearing the author's note from Morrell and his own personal tragedy spurred him on to finish the book. It's very different from the movie and nice to take in if you are like me - a John Rambo fan.

The only thing about the reading is you don't get to hear the hauntingly sad First Blood soundtrack. I really enjoyed it

Rescue Troutman!

The story begins with a tortured Rambo punishing himself for what he was. A warrior, a killer, was there a difference? The death of Coe from book two still haunted him. He still wore the leather string with the small Budda attached around his neck. To make a living, he found himself in a Thai gambling house where combatants fought for prize money. Rambo was there to punish himself. Allowing himself to be brutally beaten. Rambo recognized Troutman in the crowd. Rambo knew what he wanted. Rambo refused. Troutman’s mission was to train rebels in Pakistan to fight in Afghanistan. Troutman was captured. Rambo was compelled to rescue his Colonel, his quasi-father, the only man he trusted. Via a U.S. Intelligence Officer, he went to Pakistan, then Afghanistan to find Troutman. One man against a manned fortress. The story is quite intense and exciting.

Better Than The Movie

This novelization that is an amalgamation of various drafts of the script and of the author's own original ideas is a lot better than the Rambo III we ended up seeing.

Super cool book

A really awesome book that I found to be a fantastic fiction. It outdoes the whole series of movies. I found this book is very valuable for any young man like myself coming of age. I highly recommend this book.

A Partial Improvement

This title was another novelization that came out after the film had, and the author made some changes that were subjectively improvements but more realistic at any rate. Still, I appreciated how the cinematic Rambo relied on his skills to infiltrate the Soviet base rather than insider knowledge. To his credit, David Morrell did well in developing the Russian and Afghan characters and had done considerable research on all subjects from archery to religion to military science. The literary Rambo makes an obvious allusion to the point that the filmmakers were trying to make, that is, if you want peace, you must prepare yourself for war. Buddhism is a pacifist religion that experienced pressure in Communist-controlled Vietnam and strong persecution in Taliban-held Afghanistan, so he says "What I want is peace." In the first book, Morrell used the metaphor of fishing to describe the protagonist-antagonist conflict as the surname Trautman confirms, but this book uses the metaphor of hunting and how the hunter can become the hunted. Lastly, the narrator does an astonishing job with the Afghan accent that validated the "accented" dialogue, and he and sounds as though he were struggling to carry a stretcher.

Can't lose with any Rambo adventure

David Morrell delivered the goods again. Can't wait to enjoy his other books. David's other series have great reviews also.

Rambo

I'm not sure it lived up to its introduction of adding depth to the character but it's a quick easy listen. Everything you like from the movie is here and you just inagine Stallone throughout. Not sure the narrator is the best for the job as he doesn't bring that gritiness to the character.
