Hi Geekette70, et al,
I'm probably showing my age, but as a teenage reader I was very fond of Desmond Bagley's works (High Citadel and The Golden Keel were higlights). so too, Alistair McLean (Night Without End was one I read twice).
A more modern author would be Matthew Reilly, particularly Ice Station.
Larry Niven's works may also prove attractive.
Around that age I did read some Jules Verne. T. H. White's The Once and Future King was hard for me to put down, despite being a book I had to read for high school!
Cheers,
