>Rambo: First Blood Part II.

It must be a joke book overall.

Original Rambo movie was based on single book (by same author though) that didn't allow any sequels, just because Rambo died in the end. Rambo was also different, but overall that book was pretty good and movie also was pretty good in script sense, even with changes - fight of forgotten soldier against own people who don't care about him etc.

But other movies were just and exploitation of Rambo style. Second one was patriotic action movie, third one was much more patriotic (and more surreal in terms of realism) movie, fourth one was postmodern act with hyperbolized Rambo who just shoots everyone. So, books about these movies must be pretty, hm, bad, because everything reduced to just guns and explosions (and it isn't good for book as for movie). Especially considering that main character lost every personality trait excluding muscles.

I mean, it is very strange that Morrell decided to wrote continuation, especially based on movie. I've read first one (in Russian long ago) and thought that it must not be continued just because it is shameful for author to make books about "movie Rambo" after he wrote about "real" one. But looks like money issues, as always, prevail.
