# First Blood - Paperback

[**Report copyright infringement**](https://reportcopyrightinfringement.com/)

by **David Morrell** (Author)

**The award-winning novel that inspired the legendary Rambo film series starring Sylvester Stallone.**

First came the man: a young wanderer in a fatigue coat and long hair. Then came the legend, as John Rambo sprang from the pages of _First Blood_ to take his place in the American cultural landscape. This remarkable novel pits a young Vietnam veteran against a small-town cop who doesn't know whom he's dealing with -- or how far Rambo will take him into a life-and-death struggle through the woods, hills, and caves of rural Kentucky.

Millions saw the Rambo movies, but those who haven't read the book that started it all are in for a surprise -- a critically acclaimed story of character, action, and compassion.
