Without Remorse

John Kelly, a veteran of the Vietnam War and former Navy SEAL, is still grieving the unintentional death of his wife six months before when he becomes friends with a young lady who has a questionable background. He swears vengeance and gathers all of his former talents to find the ones guilty before it can happen again as that history reaches out for her in a particularly horrible way.

Simultaneously, the Pentagon is preparing an operation to free a significant number of detainees from a North Vietnamese POW camp. They discover that one individual, a specific former Navy SEAL by the name of John Kelly, is the one who is most familiar with the area around the camp.

Kelly is on a personal quest. He's wanted by the Pentagon for theirs. While attempting to balance the two, Kelly (now known as Mr. Clark) is faced with a wide range of adversaries, both domestically and internationally – individuals so proficient that even the smallest mistake may result in death. And it is up to him to ensure that error never occurs in order to save the lives of several others, including Kelly himself.

Guys aren't inherently violent. They become threatening. Kelly discovers that the most hazardous people are usually the ones you least anticipate...
