First Blood is a gripping thriller that introduces readers to John Rambo, a troubled Vietnam War veteran pushed to the brink by a small-town sheriff’s hostility. When Rambo is unjustly targeted and hunted, a tense cat-and-mouse game ensues in the dense forests of the Pacific Northwest. Morrell’s novel delves into themes of trauma, survival and the consequences of war, laying the groundwork for the iconic character of Rambo.
