Thank you, it's great to get ideas of great books from your threads!
Hi everyone,I'm a new group member and author of a new book in the genre. I grew up reading Tom Clancy and Nelson Demille. I graduated from the US Naval Academy in 2003 and flew helicopters in the Navy for 10 years. I got off active duty in 2013 and recently just published The War Planners
. I'm working on the sequel now and would love to hear what people in this group think of it. I look forward to participating in group discussions in the future. Thanks! Andrew

Andrew take the opportunity to review the group guidelines regarding author promotion. We are pretty specific about where and how authors promote/discuss their books.
Hi I'm Ben, love Lee Child and Barry Eisler. Does James Bond/Ian Fleming enter this group? (More spy thriller?) Interested in reading any good action adventure books that really gripped people. (Going to try my hand at writing one this year as well)

Hello,I grew up reading Clive Cussler. I enjoyed H. Rider Haggard and Edgar Rice Burroughs during a dig into classic adventure books. I devoured Jack DuBrul's Mercer series. (Hoping for a new one this year)
I also enjoy Jim Butcher's Dresden series, although classified as Fantasy, it does quench my adventure taste.
I am currently attempting to write my own adventure story, but I will abide by the rules of promotion.
Mod
Hi Ben. Definitely Bond/Fleming. Goldfinger was one of our first group reads. Welcome.

Welcome, Mike!
Hi. I"m Stacy and I"m new to Goodreads. I love reading lots of genres but I really love high-paced action books with some kind of medical twist. I just read an advance copy of a book by a new author I thought was just great and it prompted me to try to find more books like this. It was The Organ Broker by Stuart Strumwasser. Loved it!!

I like action books with propulsion. Page turners with maximum meaning in minimum words. And (full disclosure) I'm the author of "The End of Reason"."Marathon Man", by Goldman is a jewel, as is "The Eye of the Needle" by Follett.
And I prefer Fleming over le Carre.

The moderators will delete any self promos out of the correct thread. As such both of these were deleted.

Welcome, Danny.
I've just realised I've never introduced myself! I'm Jordan, an English teenager who's become an avid reader since the start of the year.Reading was something I had to do at school so I never enjoyed it, however since reading Mario Puzo's Godfather I've grown a love for reading books.
My favorite author would be Clive Cussler; I'm currently reading Robert Ludlum's Bourne Identity.
Howdy all! New to group, not to GR or reading.I'm a long time avid reader. I'm the kind of reader who will read almost anything, as long as it sounds good to me. Of course what sounds good to me varies. I don't know that I really have favorite genres anymore and the only genres I won't read are ~ religious, chick lit, paranormal creatures (werewolves, shapeshifters) and westerns.
I definitely love my action/adventure. I've always loved a more action filled book and my Hubby introduced me to Matt Reilly years ago when He suggested I read Ice Station. So, of course I became a Reilly fan and I've read all his books to date, except Troll Mt ~ haven't gotten to it yet. I also enjoy Andy McDermott's Chase/Wilde series and loved his new Persona book (I hope it'll be a series). I just finished the most recent book in the Chess Team series by Jeremy Robinson and am going to try Second World by him next.
I was excited to find this group because most of the people I talk to about books (except my Hubby) are very girlie girls and read all the chick lit crap that I can't stand. So, I can never get any good recommendations. I hope to find that here, as I'm always looking for my next favorite book. :)
Hope to get to know you all and read some great books!

Karsyn, you might also like the Event group series by David Golemon if you like the Chess Team series.

Hello! My name is Sirius, I am a new author but mainly a lover of books.I tend to get stuck in a writer until I have finished them. Did it with the Bond books, then with all the Sherlock Holmes novels, then Jack Reacher and now reading all of John Le Carre's word. It is a disease!

Hello,My name's Graham and I live in Australia. I came upon this discussion board a few months ago but I've been shamelessly lurking, so I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a keen thriller reader and also a writer: my debut novel will be released in January 2016 (ebook and paperback).
There's lots of interesting stuff being discussed here, so I thought I'd jump in and participate a little more.
Cheers.
Mod
Just found your group and noticed you list a lot of authors whose books I've read and enjoyed! Looks like a great group and looking forward to hearing from you all.

Hi Action group community,Apart from working the work, doing the job and dozens of other mundane things, I write Oligarch series. My recently released book should fit in perfectly with this group:
Mortal Showdown
I'm looking forward to meeting readers, fellow writers, explorers, navigators, cosmonauts, serial killers and their captors and others, engaged in action/adventure as their routine -:) and to contribute to the discussions around.
Already yours, Nik
