Genesis II, Projekt Saucer by WA Harbinson, The Charm School by Nelson DeMille, The Gods of Eden by William Bramley, ALL of Steve Berry's books: The Amber Room, The Romanov Prophecy, The Third Secret and The Last Templar (This guy makes Dan Brown look like Encyclopedia Brown), ALL the books of fellow Canuckistani, Christopher Hyde. Hyde takes historical facts and builds the best thrillers around them, any true crime crap, and any really, and I mean REALLY good political and espionage thriller in the Frederick Forsyth/John LeCarré genre
