Writers similar to...
Anyone have any recommendations to writers and story lines similar to:
Clive Cussler's: Dirk Pitt, Fargo Adventures, The Sea Hunters,
Lee Child's: Reacher
Michael Connelly's: Harry Bosch, Lincoln Lawyer
Tom Clancy's: Jack Ryan Jr, Splinter Cell
Any good war stories?

THat Literature Map is interesting. When I entered PGW, Saki was nowhere to be found, which surprised me a bit. But not as much as the gap between Saki and HH Munro did

Keep in mind that authors showing up together on the same Literature Map does not necessarily mean that those authors write similarly (in style and stories). It merely means that readers who read/enjoy the one, often read/enjoy the others. Nothing more nothing less.

I often hit up the Literature Map when looking for something different that I still might enjoy. When looking for "more stuff like X"... not so much.
