Dean Koontz has some good stuff but the stories lag.
I have a lot of Stephen King books including his short stories.
Robert Ludlum is a fantastic writer the "Bourne" series are a lot better in print although the movies were ok.

Yuh doh find plague ship is crap??? It so shallow and transparent!

The Cabrillo "Oregon files series" tend to be similar and yes you are right "Plague Ship" is a hard read. His Dirk Pitt "NUMA files" series is a lot better.

The Bourne Sanction by Eric Van Lust Bader. He wrote all the Bourne books after Ultimatum i.e. Bourne Legacy, Bourne Betrayal and Bourne Deception. Excellent books, easy to get into and makes you wanna run round and shoot yuh neighbour with pop gun when they in the latrine.

Just finished Open by Andre Agassi - quite interesting and full of insight.

Read Trinidad Noir last year if you looking for local authors - not bad but some of the stories kind of leave you like "huh?"

Before Open was Richard Hammond's "or is that just me" and "as you do"
quite funny really

Wilbur Smith is excellent...i have a few of his books (A Falcon Flies, River God...etc)
James Michener is superb (mixes historical fact with fiction in order to recreate the past)...(Centenniel, Caribbean...etc)

Tom Clancy, Robert Ludlum, Eric Lustbader (The Ninja, Angel Eyes), are good too
