Looking for adventure? Let me introduce you to a few authors whose books fall into that category. Many of the authors have written books in a series featuring the same characters or books in the same genre, so you'll have lots of reading material if you find you like an author. Many of the books are also available in audio formats.
David Silva is the author of a series of spy thrillers. Silva's experiences as a former CNN correspondent and journalist covering Washington and the Middle East provides his books with authenticity and rich details. A favorite character appearing in his series is Gabriel Allon. He has been described as a spy, assassin and Mossad agent who is now an art restorer. Another character is ex-CIA agent Michael Osborne. The series starts with “The Kill Artist.”
Author Brad Thor's books take place in a post 9-11 world. The character, Scott Harvath, a former Navy Seal turned federal agent, travels the world seeking terrorists against the United States. The series has lots of international intrigue and begins with “The Lions of Lucerne.”
Attorney William Bernhardt writes legal thrillers. One series features Oklahoma defense attorney, Ben Kincaid. Authentic courtroom scenes and current issues enrich the fast-paced action. Start the series with “Hate Crime.”
British author Conn Iggulden offers action with a historical theme. He has written two series on historical characters. His “Emperor” series features Julius Caesar and begins with the book, “The Gates of Rome.” The “Conqueror” series starts with Mongol warlords Genghis Kahn and his descendants, including Kublai Khan. The series begins with “The Wolf of the Plains.” Military action and political intrigue plays important parts in both series. Each series is well-researched and includes author's notes indicating the source of his information and deviations from known historical records.
In a courtroom, modern capitols of the world, or ancient plains of Mongolia, enter a world of spies, assassins, and political intrigue. You're in for an adventure.
