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

I just finished the latest C. Cussler. I doubt that I’ll buy another.

For a off-the-wall adventure type story, D. K. Richardson has a ‘World of the Chernyi’ series. Interesting characters, believeable story lines. I’ve got all 5 out so far.
