I'm a Vince Flynn addict. David Baldacci has a really good one out now called "The Camel Club"........all about conspiracy theories, terrorists, etc. Right up the TM alley.
I just found out also Richard "Put the Blame on Mame" Clarke wrote a novel that I'm anxious to read:
The Scorpion's Gate
It's 2010, and the newly established Republic of Islamyah;the former Saudi Arabia;is trying to destabilize Bahrain: the Diplomat Hotel has been bombed, and, as the first chapter of this intense debut thriller closes, the Crowne Plaza is "pancaking." Meanwhile, the deposed House of Saud is holed up in Houston; the Chinese are providing arms and training to Islamyah; the Iranians have the bomb. Secretary of Defense Henry Conrad thinks the time is ripe to invade Islamyah and seize its oil, for which the U.S. is locked in deadly competition with China. Cooler heads in the U.S. (and British) hierarchies are very, very alarmed. Sound familiar? Clarke's Against All Enemies delivered an apostate critique of the Bush administration's counterterrorism efforts, along with a vision of the future very much like today. The writing's nothing special; what is special is Clarke's passionate and deftly detailed version of the present, albeit one told in terms of its consequences. It's a brilliant conceit, and though it's sometimes drowned out by the din of various axes being ground ("It''s 68 degrees [in Washington]on January 28 and the White House still claims that global warming isn't a problem?"), the story is crowded with terrific double crosses, defections and deceptions. They're icing, though: Clarke's dramatic micro explanations of how things "really" work;from a hand who served Nixon, Reagan, Clinton and both Bushes;are the true story. This is the first novel to shift all the way from Clancy's Cold War to the present war on terror.

DEFEATING RADICAL ISLAM
WND's politically incorrect guide to winning 'terror war'
Four years after Islamic terrorists crashed jumbo jets into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon – and amid current fears of a much more horrendous terror attack on the American homeland – November's Whistleblower magazine, titled "DEFEATING RADICAL ISLAM," is an eye-opening, powerful and politically incorrect look at how the West actually can, and must, win the defining war of the 21st century.
