"Best" would depend on your pov, on what type of writing you like, but my favorites are Marilynne Robinson and John Jakes (literary fiction).
There's a huge difference between being able to write a good story and being able to write well. The above do both. Diana Gabaldon writes a good story but could use help on the writing technique. Still, she's worth reading if you like historical romance or all things Celtic. Frank Delaney's Ireland is incredible for both, but a slow read since it includes so much detail.

I personally like Tom Clancy the best, however, there are many others I also like.
For those interested, The Thunder God appeared in both of Douglas Aadams Series.

more contemporary- you cant touch stephen king (especially the dark tower series)
less contemporary- definitely kurt vonnegut, or jack kerouac
