Detonator Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I'm talking in general. Well, Archer is an Airport Author (though better than many others in this regard). Try Tom Clancy, David Baldacci, Sam Bourne, Frederick Forsyth, Alistair MacLean, Jack Higgins etc. Thanks for the suggesstions. :hatsoff: I have read Tom Clancy's novels. They are good. My favourite writers are H.P.Lovecraft, Tom Clancy, duo writers, Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, Agatha Christie, Stephen King and a lot more. I regret reading their books - Jeff Archer, Sidney Shelton, Chetan Bhagat and Dan Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulbul Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Can't be. I'm sure its less than 350 pages. There must be some issue with the formatting because 1450 pages is a LOT - you'd get 4 or 5 Archer books in that :giggle: Lord is right , the paperback version is 1000+ pages for K&A,Crow,4th Estate. even Wiki says 500+ pages for Hard back books.

I like novels that make an impact :--D I just don't like authors exaggerating things, fakey environment, black and white morality in characters, painful cliches, and stupid usage of story telling techniques like Deus ex machina or Chekhov's gun.

Try H.P.Lovecraft novels and stories. Many modern techniques used in horror movies and novels are inspired from his works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sayers, Raymond Chandler, The Father Brown Stories by G. K. Chesterton, James Hadly Chase, John Dickson Carr among older writers. try books by Reginald Hill, Ruth Rendell, Haken Nesser, Karim Fossum, Jeffrey Deaver among modern writers. I have read most, but not all, of the older writers and I can say that authors like Chandler, Sayers etc are masters of the genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
