I read a book about 10 years ago, first in a series and then lost the book to never remember the author or the book. I would like to continue reading the series so maybe if I post a short synopsis of what I remember about the book someone can help..

The main character was probabaly ex navy seal. In the begining he and his wife were out and they get car jacked. Both are shot with a shot gun, the wife dies, he lives, wakes up later in a hospital pissed. Disguises himself as a bumb and goes back to the neighbor hood and hunts down and kills the guy who killed his wife. During this time I think he also gets sent on a missin to russia to help some US airforce pilots escape a interogation center there and grabs the camp commodant who ends up defecting.

At the end the Cia or whoever help him fake his death in boating accident while being chased by the coast guard.


If anyone has read a story like this please post the book name or author.. would really like to read more of this series.

Thanks.
 
Tom Clancy's Without Remorse. I did enjoy this one. It's a spin off detailing a different character from his Jack Ryan books which is a good thriller series for teens (Hunt for Red October, Clear and Present Danger, Sum of All Fears are the movies made from the series - you've got another 10 books or so to enjoy). The one which should have been filmed IMHO but wasn't is Cardinal of the Kremlin.
 
Thanks!

I read and enjoyed all the Jack Ryan series, I guess it had been so long since I had read that series that I didnt put it together. Are there any other books dealing with only John kelly or are they all associated with the Jack Ryan universe?

I only read through Debt of Honor, but I believe the rest of the book where you find John Kelly/John Clark are Jack Ryan novels.

You'll find him in:

The Cardinal of the Kremlin
Clear and Present Danger
The Sum of all Fears
Without Remorse
Debt of Honor
Executive Orders
Rainbow Six
The Bear and the Dragon
