And also....
"Good Omens", by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman. One of my favourite books of all time.
Oh, & some very good alternate history SF books - the "World War" series by
Harry Turtledove, & it's follow up series "Colonisation".
Hmm.
And although they can be pretty "USA! USA!", I do like a lot of
Tom Clancy's "Jack Ryan" novels ("Hunt for Red October", "Sum of All Fears", etc).
Recently read
"Dante's Equation", by Jane Jensen. Very interesting thriller mixing science & religion.
Ah, & another couple of favourites - "Miracle Strain" & "Lucifer" by
Michael Cordy. Very good.
Crime thrillers...
Anything by
Michael Connelly (the "Harry Bosch" series & more).
Anything by
John Connolly (the "Charlie Parker" books such as "Every Dead Thing").
Anything by
John Sandford (the "Lucas Davenport" books - all with "Prey" in the title).
Also, the *early* "Kay Scarpetta" books by
Patricia Cornwell are very good. I think the later ones went a bit crap though.
