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!!

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.

[Hebrews 11:6]

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.

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.

[what's up]

Len Deighton is good and so is Alan Furst.

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

Try Michael Savages latest book.

Research “The Seville Communion”

Also, Read “Lucky You” for a wild ride, courtesy of Hiaasen. He wrote “Strip Tease.” Yes. THAT “Strip Tease” is a book.

Ross Thomas and Charles McCarry. Masters.

Alex Berenson has a series that are really good. Start with “The Secret Soldier”. The fourth in this series is coming out in February.

Steve Berry has a bunch of cool books. They trend a little more toward Dan Brown but the main guy, Cotton Malone, is more of a spy type guy.

The last few Tom Clancy books with Jack Ryan Jr. and the Campus are also really good. I am guessing that they aren’t written solely by Clancy (who is probably my favorite author) but they are top notch thrillers with the conservative flair.

If you haven’t ever read Clancy’s original Jack Ryan series, go back and give those a try. I have been re-reading one of those each of the last few years since I read them all in the late 80s and 90s. Those books are the high watermark of the genre imho.
