[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 5989656, member: 2012"] First, I must say that I know almost nothing when it comes to the thriller genre. What I know comes from the reinterpretation of famous novels into movies, for good or bad. I've seen all the Bourne movies, including the latest one, and I am aware that the movies are nothing like the novels. I love the movie version of The Hunt for Red October, and I do have the novel; I just haven't found the time to read it yet. I'm not as keen on the the other Jack Ryan movies based Tom Clancy's novels. Regardless, the type of spy stories I like are more like Bourne or superspy ([URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spy-fi"]spy-fi[/URL]*) thrillers like James Bond. I'm curious to find out what people think of the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bond#Post-Fleming_novels"]Bond novels written after Fleming's death[/URL]. I'm especially interested in the Raymond Benson novels, as well as [I]Devil May Care[/I] (2008) by Sebastian Faulks and [I]Carte Blanche[/I] (2011) by Jeffery Deaver. I'm also looking for recommendations regarding authors who write thrillers base off the idea of the "treasure hunt." I'm thinking more along the line of National Treasure and Lara Croft than Indiana Jones, although if there are good Indy novels I'd be interested in knowing about them. Also, can anyone tell me about [URL="http://www.steveberry.org/"]Steve Berry's[/URL] writing style? I was pointed towards his Cotton Malone series, which has piqued my interest. Other authors I'm curious about: [URL="http://www.tedbellbooks.com/"]Ted Bell[/URL], [URL="http://deankoontz.com/"]Dean Koontz[/URL], [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_le_Carr%C3%A9"]John le Carré[/URL], [URL="http://danielsilvabooks.com/"]Daniel Silva[/URL], [URL="http://www.specialx.net/"]Michael Slade[/URL], [URL="http://www.bradthor.com/"]Brad Thor[/URL].
