Nearly all of John Grisham's tales of legal intrigue are outstanding. They are quick easy reads with non-stop story lines.
I think over a dozen of them have been made into major motion pictures, but, in almost every instance, the book was better than the movie.

I forgot about one of my favorites when I was a younger man . . . Frederick Forsyth's "The Odessa File". I grew up in the 60's and 70's and I was always attracted to WWII-related stuff. Something more recent . . . Mark Ryan's "The Hornet's Sting"

Pretty much anything original Clancy, I don't read the post Clancy "Clancy" stuff.
Red Storm Rising is still my favorite but Sum of All Fears, Cardinal of the Kremlin and Debt of Honor are pretty high on my list. I like Brad Thor's stuff as well, Lions of Lucerne was the best. Early Dale Brown stuff especially Flight of the Old Dog. Stephen Coonts Liberty's Last Stand was really good and will make you order some more ammo, his most recent, I like all of the Grafton books. Larry Bond Red Phoenix Patrick Robinson Kilo Class and Nimitz Class Not novels but Stephen Ambrose history stuff is well written and his D Day book will keep you reading past bedtime if you like history. |

I have thoroughly enjoyed the following series of novels:
All of the Tom Clancy books. Stephen Hunter's Bob Lee Swagger series. Stephen Hunter's Earl Swagger series. Dale Brown’s Patrick McLanahan series (starts with Flight of the Old Dog). Harold Coyle’s Scott Dixon series. If you enjoy novels about war at sea, check out Barrett Tillman. |
