I have several Jeffrey Deavers I haven't read, by Michael Crichton 3: Andromeda Strain, A Case of Need & Timeline, one Preston & Childs, Thunderhead; as far as I know that's it.

A suggestion: Guillerrmo del Toro & Chuck Hogan's The Strain (1st in trilogy)

Thanks for the additions, Betty. This list is in no way definitive, so please continue to add on!

Thanks for the list! Since Ted Bell and Eric Van Lustbader's on the list, I would like to also suggest to the list:

- Daniel Silva
- Robert Ludlum
- Alex Berenson
- Sam Bourne

And that's all I can think of at the moment xD
