“Ian Fleming’s been gone for nearly 60 years.”
Who’s writing good action thrillers these days?
Lately I’ve been reading some of the Gray Man series by Mark Greaney, and Stephen Hunter writes some pretty good stuff. And then there’s always Matt Bracken.
I like Adam Hall and Donald Hamilton, too, but they’re not exactly new.
“Who’s writing good action thrillers these days?”
The difficulty is figuring out who the good guys are. The establishment money has one idea, the audience, another.
James Rollins. James Patterson. Douglas Preston. Dean Koontz's "Jane Hawk" series was pretty good, even though the protagonist is a female in a "The Fugitive" type of scenario, at least it was realistic in the sense that she wasn't drop kicking 300lb thugs, just using her wits to get the drop on them with a gun or chloroform.
