Try Michael Crichton. I have read three of his books:

1. Prey (Excellent Read)
2. State of Fear
3. The Andromeda Strain.

There are some others also.

^^ dude you like clive cussler too? I personally dont like sidney sheldon, jeffrey archer, stephen king.

You can read Robin Cook's books like Chromosome 6. They are medical mysteries but you dont have to know any medical stuff to understand.

Also, Dan Brown has these four novels which are very good - Angels & Demons, Da Vinci Code, Digital Fortress and Deception Point.

Any book of Clive Cussler is good. He writes underwater exploration novels, and I've read every single one of his Dirk Pitt adventures. Excellent stuff.

Temple and Seven Ancient Wonders by Matthew Reilly. They are a very light read, and quite comical, and action packed.

Robert Ludlum wrote excellent novels, and very catchy titles too, and pretty action-packed.

I've got more authors in my mind, but I guess this is enough for now.

@koolbluez

I havent read Ice Station yet. I just finished The Odessa File by Frederick Forsythe, and started The Fist Of God by the same author. Pretty good one, but it ended far too quickly in my opinion. Its a pretty good read, about nazis.

Dan Brown's books are all almost the same.
Guy n Gal get together in an awkward situation , end up facing a villain they thought was the good guy all along.

Hows the Last Testament by Sam Bourne? Thinkin of getting it.

I've read NEXT. Its pretty good, a typical Micheal Crichton book. As un-putdown-able as usual.
