Conservative Spy Novels...Need New Names...Going Through Withdrawal
Self | 12-24-12 | Self

Posted on 12/24/2012 3:35:29 PM PST by CincyRichieRich

I am going through withdrawal...Ya'll have been helpful and have recommended some of the authors I'll name here...I've unfortunately exhausted Ben Coes, Brad Thor, Brad Taylor, Vince Flynn and Barry Eisler's novels...I would appreciate some more names...I was once told to read David Baldacci's novels...I read 2 pages and realized he's an America-hating liberal. Please, none of these. I only like America-supporting, conservative spy novels...many thanks in advance.

The conservative polemicist William F. Buckley wrote a number of spy novels.

He has a new one coming out. I think the last few have been pretty good, though not of the caliber of “Hunt for Red October”.

Nelson DeMille’s “Charm School” is excellent.

Joel Rosenberg is a must.

Not spy, but very good murder thriller. Brian Freeman is one of us, but doesn’t preach. Look at “Stripped,” “Stalked,” “Spilled Blood,” and one of my favorites, “The Agency” which he wrote under a woman’s name.

I enjoy Daniel Silva’s spy novels featuring Gabriel Allon. I recommend reading the Allon series in order. Silva is a supporter of Israel and depicts a very realistic view about the threat of militant Islam throughout the series. Some of the storylines in his most recent novels have been eerily prescient.

Not spy novels, but I am re reading The Corps series by W E B Griffin. His Brotherhood of War series is also great. He does have spy novels in another series, but these first tow series are First Rate!!

DeMille’s “Plum Island” is one of my favorites.

I love Eastern Long Island so I found it quite entertaining-—and informative.

Not spy novels, but any book by Kyle Mills has me both spellbound and laughing hysterically, especially those featuring his protagonist, Mark Beamon, FBI Special Agent in Charge.

Frederick Forsyth is the master. Start with Odessa File (Germany), then The Day of the Jackal (France), then The Fist of God (Iraq).

For thrillers try Clive Cussler, Dale Brown or W.E.B. Griffin.

I second that! John Ball’s The First Team was one of my favorites.

If you want some realism, read Col. Oliver North's trilogy, starting with Mission Compromised, then the second book The Jericho Sanction, and finish up with the last one titled The Assassins.

All are very good reads and are written by someone that knows how things in that area work.

Len Deighton is good and so is Alan Furst.

A little older and not so action-packed...but excellent IMO.
