As far as cold war thrillers, the Jack Ryan series certainly is that while the Bourne series only touches on the cold war and I wouldn't classify it that way at all.
You might get more interesting results for you if you list a few books/series that you have read and like. Maybe add a list to the 2014 challenge (or a Goodreads link since it sounds like you have one), it is never to late to join that.
BTW, WELCOME! Nice to see someone new jumping in with both feet!

Thanks for the welcome, Dazrin. The truth is I've been reading cozy mysteries for two years. Dickens and Nelson Demille have been the authors that have provided me with chunky books. I've ditched a lot of the latter.
I'm coming to grips with the site's layout. I'm going to disagree politely with you as I think circa now it's slightly late for a list. When the feature for my signature is greenlit, I'll post my reading challenge from Goodreads.
I'll bid you farewell now as where I live it's 1.45 AM, so see you later.
