My favourite authors are Ian Fleming and Duncan Falconer so any recomendations in the same ball-park would be good. Also recently read The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo trilogy which was excellent.
So I'm looking for a well written novel(s).
Many thanks in advance as always T.
PS No Andy McNabb recomendations please 🙂
pretty much anything written by carl hiassen, great author from florida.
he writes stuff you cant put down
I'd start with "skinny dip" or "double Whammy"
enduro-aid, many thanks - excellent books (including Hoot) but I've read them all. Thanks anyhow
For something recent and light: "I am Ozzy". Had me chortling and cringing in equal measure. He's not the anti-Christ, he's a very naughty boy!
I read Michael Connelly's latest during my holiday, "The Scarecrow" it was very good, he's probably the most consistently good US crime author around
I've just started 'The Man Who Cycled the Americas' by Mark Beaumont after attending one of his talks last month.
A good read so far and I hope to have it finished ny the end of my weeks holiday next Friday.
terence strong - stalking horse
terence strong - white viper
tertence strong in general! like andy mcnab but better stories IMO. ive read all the andy mcnab/ chris ryan and i dont think any of them are bad books.
also worth a read is The Forgotten Highlander by Alistair Urqhart, true story - brilliant book.
have you read his "team rodent" its quite short but not many folk know about it as its a real life tale of how disney has destroyed the world
Recently I've really enjoyed "the dammed united" also "a snowball in hell" by christopher Brookmyre, hes got a few good books around
Mein Kampf or anything by Enoch Powell.
Earlyish Tom Clancy.
Band of Brothers is 1.99 at Smiths at the moment.
cherrypick the best of Alisair MacLean, Hammond Innes and Nevil Shute
If you like Fleming, you might like Leslie Charteris's 'Saint' books, if you can still find them around.
Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts
Big book, big story 🙂
Bazzer
Love Hiasen but they are all a bit samey. Lucky you was the last I read.
Reading Unseen Academicals by Pratchet, very funny. Maybe an aquired taste.
Non Fiction, so not in the genre(s) you list, but something to take the heat out of a summer hol
Stalingrad by Antony Beevor, makes fictional adventure seem rather dull and detached from horrific reality
