ANYTHING by Dean Koontz is good. It's hard for me to put his books down.
I also recommend Frank Peretti if you haven't read any of his works yet. (Shame on you!)

I also recommend Frank Peretti and Dean Koontz. Also try some Tom Clancy. And Ted Dekker (erm, I'm forgetting now...it might be Tedd? *shrugs* )

*raises hand*OHH!! PICK ME!! PICK ME!!
You should read Thr3e by Ted Dekker (Kudos to KazuValis for spelling it correctly the first time
) AWE--SOME book.
You should read Thr3e by Ted Dekker (Kudos to KazuValis for spelling it correctly the first time
) AWE--SOME book.Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

I also suggest that you read "Thr3e" by Ted Dekker. It's a really awesome book.

Michael Crichton
I've read three Michael Crichton books: Prey, Timeline, and Airframe.
They do have some language in them (esspecially Prey and when the boss man is talking in Timeline
). But if you don't mind skimming over several lines of dialogue to avoid the boss man's ranting then they are really good.

Crichton. Now there's a familiar name. Boy, I haven't read any of his stuff since The Lost World.

Enjoyed Crichton's Timeline. Quite a page turner.
Quite frankly, I really like the controversial Dan Brown's stuff. Yeah, the one currently under fire of Christians. Though I don't appreciate his bit of rewriting Christian history too convincingly in The Da Vinci Code (but then he's a writer, and his job IS to write realistically even if it's clearly fiction), he really does know how to write an intriguing story in connection with aspects of the art world. Plot twists abound, as usual.
But like I said, he is a very hot point of controversy as far as Christians are concerned, so I would suggest that if you were to read him, do it on your discretion. Remember it's only a work of fiction.
