Rambo: First Blood, Part II
John Rambo. Vietnam vet. American. First Blood unleased the fury of his rage. Now in prison for his bloody one-man war against a small-town sheriff.
Colonel Trautman. Green beret. Rambo's former commanding officer. With a signed release form—if Rambo will take on what would be a suicide mission for most men.

So...not quite what I had in mind for a holiday read, haha! 🎄
Yes, I was in a holiday mood. But after giving lackluster 3 stars to one Christmas story after another, I felt I was becoming Scrooge.🤪 I need to reset!
I was never a big fan of Rambo movies. I never watched any of them all the way to the end, sweaty Stallone and a big gun don't appeal to me. But this audiobook was included with Audible and relatively short (6 hrs) with the excellent Eric G. Dove's narration so I gave it a try.
Rambo: First Blood Part II is a novelization after the movie screenplay. John Rambo gets out of jail under certain terms. He's to go back to Vietnam and find American POWs for proof. He's under strict orders not to engage with the enemy or rescue anyone. Yeah, right. IT WAS GOOD! I enjoyed it so much that I'll probably find Rambo I, "First Blood" book. For some reason, Rambo 2 and 3 are free but not the first.

It’s important to remember that Rambo: First Blood Part II is not just Cold War fiction. It is 1980s Cold War fiction. Cross reference it with films like Red Dawn or Rocky IV. These are not cerebral works. These are stories about kicking butt. This was a time when the words Soviets and Russians were synonyms for “bad guys.” In particular, 1980s Cold War fiction was not just about calming the nuclear fears of Baby Boomers. It was also about calming the fears of their wide-eyed children (me included). Accepting that premise, this book/film succeeds.
This novel is a companion to the film version. But it contains additional material, including a primer on how Rambo became a master archer. It’s really about righting the wrongs committed against American soldiers during the Vietnam War. (Worried about the wrongs some American soldiers committed? Go watch Platoon.) As a young red-blooded American boy, I loved this action story. Send the Vietnam Veteran back into the jungle and have him right the wrongs of a bad war by dispatching a hoard of bad guys. If you want more, especially if you want to think more, this isn’t the story for you.
The fact is we still hunger for stories like this, where the body count is high and the villains are disposable. Watch the Lord of the Rings films. Accepting that conflict is inevitable, we long for conflicts where the issues are clear, or at least seem clear. In the 1980s, David Morrell accomplished this by having his iconic anti-hero turn hero for a righteous sequel to First Blood . Just try and remember this story is best accompanied with soda and popcorn.

From ideas by Sylvester Stallone and James Cameron (yes, THAT James Cameron) and the mind and pen of David Morrell, RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART II, the penultimate novelization of 1980s movies. Continuing the characterization set forth in the groundbreaking FIRST BLOOD (1971), David Morrell adds internal dialogue, motivation, and nuance to the setting of the movie that had the world buzzing in 1985. This is important, as the movie's protagonist was famously taciturn but full of action. Despite Trautman's warning, Rambo does the blood and guts routine and it's a blast. Draw FIRST BLOOD again and experience an extraordinary novel unlike any other.

Was it based on a screenplay, yes. Did the movie set up some father son relationship between Rambo in Troutman that was the exact opposite of what they had in the first novel, yes. Did Troutman shoot Rambo in the head with a shotgun at the end of the first book, yes, but any die-hard Rambo fan knows that that wouldn't slow down our hero in the least! I'm going to say it I am an unapologetic Rambo fan. I love this book. It's a quick read and a great way to spend a lazy day. It's a fun book that's different enough from the movie to make it worth reading.

3.5 rounding up. Better than the movie, but not as good as First Blood.
I read this book a half dozen times as a kid. I wasn’t allowed to watch the movie but I was allowed to read whatever I wanted.
Here’s most people’s introduction to a compound bow and how useful a 15 inch long multi-tool knife can be. The 80s ruled.
Surprisingly less descriptive violence than I remember, but that didn’t stop Rambo from racking up well over 100 kills.
You already know if this is something you’d like. The book fleshes out Rambo and the other character’s stories in a way that isn’t possible in the movies.

Outlandish. Totally unrealistic. Perhaps even ridiculous. Big fun.

An interesting alternate version of the famous story. This version might have more depth but I think it only works as good as it does as a book.

Provided you can overlook , this novelization/narrative expansion of the movie sequel earns its subtitle: This truly is First Blood, Part II.
Whereas First Blood had Rambo bringing the Vietnam War home to America, this sequel sends him back (on the promise of a presidential pardon for the destruction he wrought in the previous story) to the POW camp where he was imprisoned and tortured on a rescue mission; the two novels form perfect emotional bookends. An honest exploration of Rambo's PTSD was given the short shrift in the blockbuster movie -- there was little time for catharsis amidst the carnage -- but David Morrell corrects that cinematic oversight in his literary interpretation, endowing his tragic hero with greater psychological depth, and bringing him more in line with his characterization in the original novel.
One of the most interesting novelizations ever written, this draws in equal measure from the Sylvester Stallone shooting script and an earlier unused draft by James Cameron, and is further embellished with original material conceived by Morrell himself. The genesis of the project and its unusual nature is explored in detail in the wonderful supplemental essays included in this Gauntlet Press edition.
And though Morrell certainly knows how to write a visceral action sequence, the only thing keeping this from a five-star rating is that the prose isn't as crackerjack as it could be -- I don't believe it's quite up to First Blood's snuff -- probably because the author was under a very tight deadline to get the book done in time to coincide with the release of the in-production movie a few months later. But that is a minor quibble to what is both a great novelization in its own right and a worthy narrative successor to Morrell's debut novel; that he makes what could've been a half-assed media tie-in so compulsory is a testament to his talents and his passion for his iconic creation, and how wonderful that it has been given such a rich collector's-edition treatment by Gauntlet/Borderlands.

This is in my humble opinion the best version of Rambo: First Blood Part II that exists, simply because characters and events are more fleshed out in this version:
*Rambo himself is shown to be a follower of Zen Buddhism (which help explains how he ended up at Buddhist Monastery in the sequel), is a fan of the novel Catch-22, and rather amusingly tells the rescued P.O.W.s the first film they should see when they get back is Star Wars.
*The Vietnamese character Tay is established in the novel as Rambo's torturer from his imprisonment at he P.O.W. camp during the war and has suffered greatly from letting Rambo escape, which gives him strong motivation to catch and kill Rambo.
*Rambo and Co-Bao's relationship is just a little more fleshed out in this version.
* Lt. Col. Podovsky mentions the film MASH as an example capitalist failings.
*The fact that Col. Trautman isn't only a friend and comrade to Rambo but a surrogate father is hammered home pretty heavily.
*Rambo gives a small history lesson about the bow, which explains why the compound bow that he uses is such an effective killing tool.
*Rambo's trademark bandanna is taken from Co's clothing.
*Near the end of the book Murdock makes a last ditch effort to stop Rambo returning with the P.O.W.s by ordering their chopper shot down but Trautman stops the pilot from completing the order by holding a gun to his head.
These might not seem like huge changes, but it's little details like period appropriate pop-culture references and internal monologues make all the difference to me. The film version of Rambo: First Blood Part II is a solid action film with its own points to make about how American troops in Vietnam were victims of the war like everybody else, but if you wanted the film to have a little more meat on its bones than the novelization is what you're looking for.

As good as the first in the series, though it was never meant to be a series at all. It follows the film but has a few differences which gets explained in the introduction. I enjoyed the commentary against the Vietnam war and being deep in Southeast Asia. Their was some realistic insights into meditation and solid history and explanations of various bows.
David M. might be the greatest thriller author I've read.

Funnily enough, this & the Part III books are based on the screenplays. No. No, Ive never heard of such a thing either. Its downright ridiculous, but I actually enjoyed this better than the original novel. It was kinda like watching the movie. Only you were reading it. Yeah. Morrell is still a crap writer.
July 25, 2008
I selected thriller for this but maybe it would be better labeled "Men's Adventure." It's better than the movie, but still a fairly light offering in the Morrell canon.

Novelization of the second Rambo movie based on the original screenplay by James Cameron and adapted by Rambo's original novel author, David Morrell.
There's a lot going on here. But I'm glad Morrell came back to do this. It makes it feel more authentic. This is an excellent adaptation of the movie. It digs in on details you wouldn't expect like Rambo's feelings on the war, and how it hurt him that he fought for his country but after returning from Vietnam he was an outcast. And it really gets into Trautman's and Rambo's relationship and how deeply they care for each other. Lots of good stuff there. And some things happen differently, some things are the same. I feel like there's a little bit more emotional depth in this novelization than in the movie, which isn't surprising. It's nearly 250 pages which is super long for a Rambo novelization.
I liked this so much I'm considering reading Morrell's Rambo III novelization, and I hate that movie.

Кой не знае Джон Рамбо, кой не е чувал за него. Рамбо спира влака с глава, иска огън от машиниста и изпива нафтата. И ако първата "Първа кръв" си беше читав роман, тук вече майсторството на Дейвид Морел не може да помогне на сценария на Слай и КамерОн (така е записан Джеймс на корицата, о блажени 90's), реанимирали покойника (в оригиналния роман Рамбо умира), за да го метнат най-неблагодарно обратно в гнусната джунгла. Еманация на Хамериканската пропагандна машина от залеза на Студената война и черен литературен мор за обединените виетнамско-съветски комунистически сили. Смех! НО, безценно книжно-кашонно попълнение за деветдесетарската ми колекция (два лева, братче, по-малко от една бирица в Ах, топол, откъдето я напипах) и тотален мозъчен релакс на плажа :)

Pure Hollywood, this is a novelization allowed only by changing the end of a true classic, First Blood. This goes on to change the character completely. Lots of action & gore. I hope Morrell made a lot of money out of it & didn't get screwed like Puzo did on the Godfather sequels.
3 stars might surprise you, but notice that I am shelving this book as part of a series. It & Rambo III comprise the series along with the movie version of First Blood NOT the book. First Blood which I reviewed here is a standalone classic, IMO. If not, I'd have to give this book negative stars.
I'm going to copy & paste pretty much this exact review in for Rambo III save it will only get 2 stars. Neither book deserves any accolades.

A good read. I always wonder how did David Morell feel writing this tie-in when his original novel would have made a sequel impossible. Then again I bet he never realized that his story could be successful enough to have a hero who could be sanitized and worthy of redemption as the movies have done. All in all a fair adaptation. I love how he makes Rambo come to life on paper just as much as Stallone made him come to life on screen. A-
February 3, 2017
This was a very faithful adaptation of the movie, and quite frankly, this was the only time I actually found the author's note to be worth reading. My biggest complaint is the constant use of foul language and the constant discussion of bodily fluids which just got really disgusting very quickly.
January 22, 2016
Far different book than the movie. Excellent read and a insightful look at the way we as a society view our military. Very recommended
August 30, 2025
This was so much better than I expected. Morrell adds a couple of layers of character and story to what was in the movie, and the additional material takes everything to a different level. I'm going to avoid spoilers and just say that if you like this kind of story, you won't be disappointed. The third act is especially solid
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

This book was a far drop in quality from the first . I get this is a novelization for a movie unlike the first book but Rambo almost reads as a completely different person.

3.2/5
Rambo: First Blood, Part II is infamous in its insane stature as an icon in American 80's pop culture and an influential part of cinema history, spawning hundreds of imitations from every country, and still inspiring some action films today.
That in no way means it's good. Hell yes, it's enjoyable, but it's also quite bad. As a sequel to what is one of the best action-dramas of the 1980's, it's piss-poor. But Morrell does the best he can with the storyline he's got, fleshing out characters, Rambo's thoughts and feelings during every situation he's thrust into, adding details, and applying a few changes (mostly different scenes) that actually make it better than it did in the movie. The death of a key character is different here, handled with care and drama, actual tension, whereas in the movie it was so goddamn laughable that it's impossible to take it seriously. It was wise to commission Morrell to write the novelizations for the first two Rambo sequels--who better to refine them through the written word than the author of the original novel? He's made First Blood, Part II better than it had any right to be.
I would probably give this a full four stars if the overall story wasn't so ridiculously stupid at times, but that's something Morrell really didn't have too much say in (one of those 'work with what you have' kinda deals). Some passages were weird and unnecessary, like describing the guard who creams himself talking to Co (disguised as a prostitute) and the fact that one of the Russian bad guys gets sexually aroused by torturing Rambo, and then jizzes himself as he's being electrocuted (there's a surprising amount of accidental ejaculation in this book, lol); or the four pages dedicated to describing the 'Ram Bow' (a bad joke, but I love it) are probably the only additional details I really didn't care for.
I've always enjoyed the movie for what it was. I like the book even more. Hell, if Morrell could turn Rambo II into a mostly great reading experience, I can only imagine how much better Rambo III's novelization is compared to its cinematic counterpart!

I think I might’ve attained the summit of low forms with this, the novelization of a dumbass sequel to an ‘80s action movie.
I picked it up after listening to an interview with the author and hearing how smart and down-to-earth he is. Of course I loved the movie as a kid, and I still love the first flick. A discarded and despised vet, skilled in killing and a victim to flashbacks, bringing the war back home to the US, Rambo is a brilliant creation and Morrell deserves credit for that. And hearing this book was partly based on an unused screenplay by James Cameron, fresh off his masterpiece The Terminator, I actually went and shelled out $40 for the original paperback. What is wrong with me? In the end, the book is what you think it is: a fleshed-out treatment of a very thin script. Stupid, but not painfully so. Morrell wrote it in six weeks, so in a sense it’s surprising it’s not worse. The only scene that was better executed than the screen version was when Rambo gets hung up outside the helicopter.

I can't even begin. This thing has absolutely everything wrong with it. This is EXACTLY like watching TV. It is downright embarrassing in the same way The Metaverse Dictionary is.
It's kind of hard to believe a grown man could do this -- could type this up and say "OK, good enough".
No wonder these movies were so popular; this is like watching Star Wars or Laverne & Shirley or The Rockford Files.
But lots of action.

This was a fun read. Rambo: First Blood, Part II had enough subtle differences to keep the reader's attention, and not allow them to just assume they know how the whole story unfolds from beginning to end. If you enjoyed the movie, you enjoy the book too.

Wow- in the movie he survies, so David Morrell is kind enough to write this movie-tie in. We find him in a penetentry serving time, breaking rocks, when Cl. Troutman asks him to return Viet Nam for a special mission. He later realizes that it was a set-up.
May 30, 2012
i think this book is a very interesting book. I like this book better than the movie because you get to see the point of view from difforent people like the police officer. I would recomend this book to everyone.
November 26, 2014
Surprisingly enjoyable and a very easy read. Although the writing is a bit stilted at the beginning it definitely picks up during the second part of the book. This actually exceed my expectations. Maybe it helped that I actually hadn't seen the film which I've heard is pretty poor. :)
January 21, 2016
More or less a straight retelling of the second movie with a little fluff put in here and there about Rambo's character and feelings. Watching the movie is one thing, but seeing the words in print just makes everything seem so cheesy.
May 15, 2024
Een boek gebaseerd op de film geschreven door de originele auteur. Het gaat dieper op het verhaal van de film in, de aanvulling van David Morrell op het originele script is geweldig. Het is een bijzondere novelasatie. Een aanrader voor de fans van de film.
