Would like to know the novelists who write SciFi/Thriller novels in the style of Michael Crichton,Dan Brown..?

Question

I'm trying to figure out some of good novels which suits my style of reading. Your help would be appreciated

Answer 1

I know of no current sci-fi writers like the two authors you mention. Quite honestly, those writing today are much better than Crichton and Brown.

Answer 2

Robert Ludlum,Dean Koontz,Alistair MacLean and Desmond Bagley write great thrillers.

Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum.Forget the movie.The book is the real article."The Bourne identity" is the story of a man without a past, rescued from the Mediterranean Sea by some fishermen. He is very ill, and his body has suffered the impact of many bullets. The man is taken by the fishermen to a doctor in a nearby island, who helps him to recover physically and mentally. Our protagonist doesn't remember who he is, but with the help of the doctor he finds some clues he doesn't like too much. He only knows for certain some things, for instance that his face has been altered by plastic surgery, that he knows a lot about firearms and that he carried on him a microfilm that contains the code to an account of four million dollars.

In the Swiss bank where the account is he also finds a name: Jason Bourne. But... is he Jason Bourne?. He cannot remember, and if it were for quite a few people, he won't. From the moment he leaves the island onwards, our man without a past will be followed, and attacked. He doesn't understand why, but he reacts in order to stay alive. Add to this already interesting mixture a woman he takes as a hostage, Marie, a number of assasins (including the most famous assassin in the world, Carlos), and the possibility that he is, as a matter of fact, also an assassin, and you will understand why this book is so good. The main character will be hunted all throughout the book not only by the "bad guys", but also by the "good" ones (mainly agents from the USA Government). You won't be able to stop reading this book, and you will find yourself asking aloud to nobody in particular "who on earth is this man?" and "what started this whole mess"?.

The Vivero letter by Desmond Bagley.Jeremy Wheale's well-ordered life is torn apart when his brother is murdered by a mob hit man, whose bait was a family heirloom - a sixteenth-century gold tray. The trail takes Wheale from Devon to Mexico and the wild tropical rain forests of Yucatan. In dense jungle, he helps two archaeologists locate the rest of a fabled hoard of gold - treasure from Uaxuanoc, the centuries-old lost city of the Mayas. But his brother's enemies are on Wheale's trail, and with them are the Chicleros, a vicious band of convict mercenaries.

Landslide by Desmond Bagley.Bob Boyd wakes up in a hospital with no memory,the only surviver of an accident.He was burned badly all over and needed extensive plastic surgery which was payed by a mysterious sponser.He is told that he's a geology student with a bad past.However Bob recovers and gets on with his life.Hired by the powerful Matterson Corporation to survey land before they build a great new dam, he begins to uncover the shaky foundations of the Matterson family and becomes a fly in their ointment.His accident and the Matterson family have more in common than he thought.

Fear is the key-Alistair MacLean
This is basically a revenge story: the narrator's wife and child are flying in a plane that gets shot down at the beginning of the novel. Two years later, the narrator has apparently been unhinged enough to have turned to a life of crime, for which he is now being prosecuted. Only he escapes from the courtroom, taking a young woman hostage. A reward is put out on his head, and he is captured by a thug who turns him in to the hostage's father. Instead of turning him over to the police, however, the father hires him for some not entirely legitimate tasks. The father, it turns out, has been consorting with some shady characters, who may or may not have been responsible for killing the narrator's family.

Answer 3

Lawrence Block's From Plot to Print is a realiable handbook to writing the unconventional. And for commonplace suggestion on the writing craft, i counsel Stephen King's On Writing. To extra perfect your skills, study sturdy novelists mutually with Hemingway, Michner, Steinbeck and others. you may want to also write commonly used.
