I’m passionate about reading books in which three-dimensional female heroines are put into situations where they are challenged to reach their full potential, along with being capable of looking after themselves and facing their fears. A great, suspenseful thriller allows me to delve into that dangerous part of the world, which is frightening but strangely enticing.
I loved this book because its story is fast-paced, suspenseful, and thrilling.
I enjoyed the thrill of the main male character trying to outrun the spy that could alter the course of history. It is so well written that at times you wish the spy wouldn’t get caught!
The danger is interwoven with passion, and the heroine is a mix of vulnerability and strength.
The worldwide phenomenon from the bestselling author of The Pillars of the Earth, World Without End, A Column of Fire, and The Evening and the Morning
His code name was "The Needle." He was a German aristocrat of extraordinary intelligence-a master spy with a legacy of violence in his blood, and the object of the most desperate manhunt in history. . . .
But his fate lay in the hands of a young and vulnerable English woman, whose loyalty, if swayed, would assure his freedom-and win the war for the Nazis. . . .
During the 1970s and 80s, the Soviet Union penetrated the corporate economy and financial systems of the United States to engage in industrial espionage.

Writing began for me in 1994 when I quit a good job to see if I could be a writer. I chose the political thriller genre because my books describe characters trying to figure out how to achieve practical ends non-violently. Kendall Smith pursues this goal, usually while working in the mysterious Sahara Desert. Despite the awesome nature of the challenge and the numerous life-or-death circumstances that he experiences, he begins to suspect that there is a spiritual component to his quest for peace, mirrored in nature and the human journey. My attempt to present that phenomenon, no matter how ephemeral, is the ultimate goal of my writing.
Barry Eisler is a superb writer who casts a talented and likable character into a career as an assassin.
John Rain chooses this life because he hopes his actions will deter greater acts of violence. It is a rationale that so often accompanies violence in our society, and here, Eisler reduces it to its basics. It is also a question that confronts the main characters in my first novel as they face off against terrorism. As for Rain, he has his share of confusion and self-doubt as he goes about his business.
This thoughtful novel flows frictionlessly from beginning to end, convincing me that no one is writing better political thriller novels these days than Barry Eisler.
Previously published as Hard Rain and Blood from BloodAll John Rain wants is to get out of the killing business. But with his discretion, his reliability, and his unique talent for death by "natural causes," no one is willing to let him just retire.

I am a novelist with a passion for reading and it is this which I feel qualifies me to speak on this topic. My reading is eclectic across the crime/mystery genre and there’s nothing I love more than a book that sucks me right into the same world its characters inhabit, something all five of my choices did. As a novelist I appreciate the way these novels all use the weather conditions to add an extra layer of threat to the protagonists and it’s something I’ve always wanted to emulate.
One of Cussler’s earlier novels featuring Dirk Pitt, Cussler sends his erstwhile hero deep into a desert landscape where he throws all manner of problems at them.
As Pitt and co battle to survive the harsh conditions, they are tested to the limit as they must not only escape the arid landscape, but do in time to foil a dastardly plot. While perhaps not as much of a literary heavyweight as some of the other authors mentioned on this list, Cussler is brilliant at writing a rollicking good yarn.
The eleventh classic Dirk Pitt novel, where the adventurer is drawn to a secret in the burning African desert, which could destroy all life in the world's seas.
A CREEPING RED TIDE OF DEATH
Deep in the African desert, Dirk Pitt discovers that a top secret scientific installation is leaking a lethal chemical into the rivers, threatening to kill thousands of people - and to destroy all life in the world's seas.

In my opinion, Louise Penny is one of today’s foremost writers in the mystery and political thriller genres.
The Grey Wolf integrates many of her memorable characters from her series of Armand Gamache books and takes the reader on a fascinating tale of duplicity and intrigue. In the townships of Quebec, the complexity and horror of the potential terrorism threat grow as Armand and associates investigate. As usual in her novels, Penny squeezes every drop of tension from the action.
One of the reasons I include this book in my list is that wrote a novel in 2006 with a very similar plot, only it was set in the Santa Barbara party town of Isla Vista. No Gamache in my book, but plenty of action and perhaps also likable characters.
The 19th mystery in the #1 New York Times-bestselling Armand Gamache series.
Relentless phone calls interrupt the peace of a warm August morning in Three Pines. Though the tiny Québec village is impossible to find on any map, someone has managed to track down Armand Gamache, head of homicide at the Sûreté, as he sits with his wife in their back garden. Reine-Marie watches with increasing unease as her husband refuses to pick up, though he clearly knows who is on the other end. When he finally answers, his rage shatters the calm of their quiet Sunday morning.
