Thanks for the feedback.

Robert Ludlum

You actually like him? I mean gosh - what would some of the pseudo-intellictuals on this board say. A normal everyday very readable action type writer without a foreign name!

I actually like him as well!

[dot dot dot]

yeah....

Good for the long haul flights from Asia to Europe or USA, for at the pool in a resort that is too boring to do something else or when your beloved one is on holidays and you really got no clue how to kill time...

Ludlum's 'Bourne Identity' was super racy. And, I loved it. Including the movie as well.

A couple more for you The Sun...Fredrick Forsyth and Ken Follet. Then there was good old James Hadley Chase, master pulp kitsch writer.

I agree with sapphire -- Ken Follet's early stuff very readable. The Key to Rebecca, The Eye of the Needle. Very good.

I also liked the first few of Greg Iles.

[samantha]

My favouritism lies in the likes of David Gemmel, David Eddings, Mercedes Lackley and Chris Bunch.

Check out Barry Eisler. Relatively new, good action stuff set in Asia.

Yup, Ken Follet, but I must say that the following two are worth re-reading year after year (ok, a completely crappy memory helps):

Robert Crais with the eminently likeable Elvis Cole

and

Michael Connely with Hieronymus Bosch as the sultry cop hero - very reminiscent of the old Marlowe . . .


Ah, I'm a sucker for old style cops and robbers
