Looking for CIA thriller series..

[Mr. David]

I have already read the following authors:

1) Vince Flynn (Last book will be released in October - posthumously)
2) Alex Berenson
3) Stephen Coonts

I'm looking for those type of authors - I just picked up a book called "Non Official Asset" by William Sewell via Kindle. It's a good book.

Always looking for the following:

Aviation thrillers
Medical thrillers
Legal thrillers

Thanks in advance!

1. I'll give it a shot

For CIA: Tom Clancy.

For pre CIA (OSS circa WW II): W.E.B. Griffin, the Honor series and Men at War series

Aviation: Dale Brown

Medical: Robin Cook, and to an extent, Michael Crichton

Hope this helps

[Mr. David]

2. Hmm. Any series I should start with regarding Clancy?

I have seen some of his movies.. I especially like Red October.

5. Clancy really only had one series

unless you count the stuff he "wrote with other authors," or the nonfiction material.

The Jack Ryan books are the heart of what he did. In publishing order:

The Hunt for Red October
Red Storm Rising
Patriot Games
The Cardinal of the Kremlin
Clear and Present Danger
The Sum of All Fears
Without Remorse
Debt of Honor
Executive Orders
Rainbow Six
The Bear and the Dragon

3. Try Barry Eisler

Thriller writer. He actually was in the CIA, so he knows what he's writing about.

[Mr. David]

4. thanks!

I'll look him up!

[Nay]

6. Seconding Eisler. He's good. nt

7. Does it have to be CIA specifically?

John le Carré's George Smiley novels. British spy's...

[Mr. David]

8. Not CIA...

Barry Eisler's not a CIA thriller, but I am enjoying the books.

I guess John le Carre's might work. I'll look him up after i finish the Rain series.

9. Valerie Plame has a novel BLOWBACK

Also Stella Rimington (former head of MI5) is now a novelist.

I liked this series.

Also, Brad Thor...I know, he is an ultracon though his Harvath series is good. IMO though Flynn (Rapp) was the best I've read so far.

11. Robert Ludlum

John LeCarre

[ABookCritic]

12. Good Start

Those are a good start. Vince Flynn is great.

Lee Child, Robert Ludlum (Jason Bourne), John le Carré, James Morcan and one of my favorite new authors, Conrad Brasso (Hunting the Midnight Shark).

[TBF]

13. I think you'd like John Le Carre -

and possibly David Baldacci. His are not always CIA but he's a good storyteller like Grisham.

Have you read all of Dan Browns? Digital Fortess for example was good and not as well known.

14. Olen Steinhauer's trilogy on CIA operative Milo Weaver

First book in the series is The Tourist.
