reviews
Clancy at his apolitical best 
The line between social justice and vigilantism can be a fine one, as Clancy clearly demonstrates in this no-holds-barred thriller detailing the pre-CIA life of recurring character John Kelly (a.k.a. John Clark). Kelly, still grieving the loss of his wife, meets an exciting young woman with whom he develops an instant chemistry. Within just a few days of inviting Pam onboard his boat and getting to know her, he falls head over heels in love--but not before discovering that she's a drug addict and a former prostitute. Undeterred, Kelly sets out to cure Pam of her addictions. As part of the healing process, Kelly takes Pam back to the streets of Baltimore. As extremely bad luck would have it, Pam is recognized by her former pimp, who shoots Kelly and kidnaps the girl. Days later, Kelly turns up in a hospital, and Pam turns up dead. Kelly vows to rehabilitate himself and avenge Pam's murder, eventually drawing on his considerable skills as a former Navy SEAL and embarking on a campaign of terror against the city's drug world that has cops scratching their heads and dealers quaking in their dark alleys. Meanwhile, in war-torn Vietnam, a U.S. spy drone snaps a photo of a high-ranking military official who is supposed to be dead--a man with knowledge that could be extremely beneficial to America's enemies. The Pentagon's top brass decides to stage a rescue, and who better to lead the mission than former SEAL John Kelly? Now, torn between his desire to punish his girlfriend's murderers and his loyalty to his country, Kelly has to decide which mission is more important. The choice he makes will affect not only the course of Kelly's life but the very condition of his soul. The literary device of hero vs. human evil is a familiar one, and the ethical questions the book raises are worth considering. As with many of this author's novels, caution is required; the book contains accounts of torture, physical and emotional abuse, drug use, and war violence. The first chapter contains a relatively mild sex scene, and bad language is used throughout. But Clancy is a master of political and military intrigue, and the objectionable material is included not for its own sake but to support the compelling story and believable characters. Readers who are able to cheer for an antihero with a conscience will love Without Remorse.

without remorse
this book illistrates how a man can do terrible things when someone he loves is murdered.

Clark is a mean green machine
This book had me hooked form cover to cover I just could not put it down!!!John Terrence Kelly is a character with character, honor and a mean determination to do what has to be done … because it's the right thing to do. I first read this book in 1998 and have read it twice since. A definite must read!!

Some typos … 
This review is of the Kindle version of the book and not of the book itself, which I enjoyed greatly. (The short version: if you like »Clark«, this book is a must read. Jack Ryan fans, be warned that he has only a short »cameo« in this book.) The purchase and download process was flawless. I do not have a Kindle (yet) but downloaded the book to, and read it on, my iPhone using the Kindle for iPhone application, which is a free download from the iTunes Store. The copy of the text, however, has typos here and there. It seems that a print copy of the book was scanned and converted to digital text via OCR software; it also seems that no one bothered to proofread or at least do a cursory spelling check. This did not hamper my enjoyment of the story, but there were occasions during which I stopped reading to focus on a typo and figure out what the proper word was supposed to be.

The 3 lives of John Clark
Riviting action with deep concern for the main characters makes it difficult to put down.
