For non-fiction, I'd recommend 'Flashman at the Charge'. This is my favorite of a great series of historical non-fiction (well actually non-fiction with fiction parts). Anyway, they are very funny, interesting and wonderfully accurate. Author is George MacDonald Fraser
For fiction, I just read Nelson DeMille's 'Night Fall' and 'Wild Fire' and both were real page turners.
I'm very fond of Clancy's early books, so I may have similar tastes as your husband.
