Also give David Morell a read if you have not red him yet. His books are fast but fun reads.

CJ Box: good novels about a Wyoming Game Warden
John Sandford's "Prey", all of them are really good, and the main character, a Minneapolis detective carrys a 1911. Michele Connelly: alot of mystery/cop type novels. The Harry Bosch character ones are really good. |

If you like the Lee Child stuff check out the Repairman Jack series by F. Paul Wilson. Start with The Tomb. To summarize, Repairman Jack is an urban mercenary who fixes situations for people who can't go to anyone else. He's part Jack Reacher and part MacGuyver. He's not above using martial arts or firearms to accomplish his mission, but usually he comes up with elaborate plans to expose, humiliate, or otherwise destroy his targets. If you like the series Burn Notice on USA, you'll probably love the Repairman Jack novels. |

Stephen Hunter, Bob The Nailer, and his daddy.
Good series about father & son Marine veterans. My favorite is the book where the dad hires a bunch of gun writers to take out an illegal prison. |

If you are looking for war books, some of the best are the Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwell.

Yes those were excellent. I read all of them in high school. Great stories and they contain a lot of accurate information about the Napoleonic Wars. |

I still need to read the latest. The friend that turned me on to Lee Child now has me reading the Doc Ford books from Randy Wayne White. I'm on my third and enjoying them. |

Andy McNab has some neat novels with continuing main character Nick Stone who is an former British SAS soldier who does freelance work for the Brit. government. Stone is a bit of a loser and, at times, screw-up, but he's skilled and comes through in the end.
Brent Ghelfi has two books based in modern Moscow, Volk's Game and Volk's Shadow. Those are two are real good but real violent novels with a rather amoral lead character. More crime novels than war but both of them involve spying, governmental chicanery, and the war in Chechnya. |

Read John Perkin's two books: Confessions of an Economic Hit Man and The Secret History of the American Empire. When I first heard of him, I was skeptical. Then I remembered what Smedley Butler, twice Medal of Honor recipient, said about his work and what happened to the last ruler in Hawaii in 1898 before Butler's time.

Robert Littell [The Company, etc] and Barry Eisler [the Rain series] are both top tier writers of the spy/assassin genre. Both include some legit 'spycraft' that the pulp writers simply BS about. Ghost

If you like the military scenes in Tom Clancy's novels, you'd love Harold Coyle.
