Without Remorse

This is one of my favorite books. It's a very involved book, although on a much smaller scale than most of Tom Clancy's writing. It follows one man through a period of his life where he saves a hooker with a heart of gold, almost dies, and goes on a secret mission for the army. It's an origin story, if you will, for a character who shows up in some of Clancy's other books, and it works quite well as a standalone work too.
