Andrew Britton. 'nuff said.
U.S. Army veteran, born in England, lived hard, died fast, wrote like the champion he is. I don't know about the dying hard part, but he did pass on from a heart condition. Honorable mentions: Everyone else mentioned in the thread. Barry Eisler, in particularly if you can get past the wussification of Rain by the fifth book (thank GOD Barry brough back some of the old half-breed fire The Detachment!) Treven can trip on a crack and break his back for what I cared for his character. [edit] Vince Flynn is good. His...prattling about the state of national security gets bogged down by the later books. He hates brown people, equates freedom with a constant gun pointed at all plausible threats (IE, everyone), gets too prone to masturbating heroics in the same vein as 24 (I think he advised the show). By the fourth book, it wasn't a "Flynn" novel, but an extended Jack Bauer Power Hour Multiplied by However Long It Takes For You to Read My Book. Last edited by Yamada; 07-17-2013 at 10:33 PM. |
