I couldn't help but picture Michael B. Jordan as John Kelly. Time for a rewatch.

This novel is quite a bit more violent than some of Clancy's other works and this is the foundtation for much famous Rainbow Six series ! And this book could be considered a prequel to the Jack Ryan books.

I really liked this back story of John Clark. On to Rainbow Six.

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.
