Hi Caleb. I deleted your introduction because we ask authors not to promote their books in their intros. Feel free to use the Author sections of the groups to talk about your books.
Mod
Welcome, Matt!
Hello! I'm Bryan and I'm honestly just now getting back into reading. I do love spy thriller movies so this seems like the group for me! Just started reading the Bourne series.
welcome ! , the bourne series is fantastic!
Mod
Welcome Bryan - might try going back to more Bourne. Though really my to read list is too long already.
Thanks everyone! And I hear you, J. The first day I got back on Goodreads, I probably added 50 books to my list haha.
Mod
Welcome Bryan.... Great name but you spell it wrong!!! lol
I'm Duncan. I've loved reading this genre ever since my dad handed over his Clive Cussler books when I was a kid. I've struggled to find new reads in this genre lately, so looking forward to digging into the group and seeing what I can turn up. I tend to like the 'MacGuffin' style stories, and am always delighted to get new suggestions!
Greetings from Scotland, my name's Mac, I served as a reservist in both the US marines and the Royal Air Force, so I'm about as Trans-Atlantic as my mixed up accent. I'm a new author, my WWI historical novel is on the bookshelf. Nowadays I serve on a volunteer lifeboat in the North Sea- when my pager goes, I run to the station and we launch, regardless of the weather. I look forward to joining the chat.

Hello all. Born in Scotland, live in Australia. Writer and reader. I enjoy all genres of fiction and non-fiction but no matter the context, a tense, nail-biting story with danger all around is what I love most. Looking forward to finding new titles to read through this group.

I'm Dave. I've been an avid reader and Goodreads member for some time but only recently joined this group. An author I've recently discovered who produces excellent thrillers is Jordan Vezina. His work is first rate.

Greeting, I'm TJ, an aspiring writer. While I do like to read whatever peaks my interest, I do like stories where the plot is enjoyable and the characters are well-developed. I also enjoy writing a blend of genres into my stories whenever possible.

I love classic action adventure thrillers in the tradition of Desmond Bagley, Hammond Innes and Alistair MacLean.I prefer central characters who are ordinary people forced to act outside their comfort zone.
One of the joys of reading fiction is learning new things. It may be about how people think, about history, places, technology, or about the jobs people do.
A good novel lets you absorb all this subconsciously. Dick Francis was good at that.

Hi all my name is Bob and new to the group. I started reading action adventure books when I was in the service many moons ago, the likes of J.C. Pollock and Tom Clancey. Stopped reading for years as work and life in general limited my time. Started back up with the works of Stephen Hunter and Vince Flynn. Now I am finding myself really digging into the older action adventure series such as The Executioner, Vietnam Ground Zero and SOGs along with others from that era. Looking forward to see what other books everyone is reading and their thought on them.

Hello. I am fairly new to goodreads & read various genres - Fantasy, Sci-fi, Military & LE Fiction, Mysteries, Paranormal, Romance. In action/adventure, I mainly read Clive Cussler, and have read all his books in his Oregon, Numa, and Dirk Pitt series. His titles, Flood Tide & Inca Gold, Lost City & Devil’s Gate are among my favorites. I especially appreciate his books with a lot of underwater action, even when far-fetched, as I I scuba dive, It makes for entertaining reading. :D

Mod
Hi! I'm Gail and I'm hooked on action adventure books and movies. My favorite characters are Dirk Pitt and Jack Reacher.

Just a pit stop. I recently had surgery, now have an infection and a couple of days off. Thought I'd check in.
Typing is difficult with one eye. (my left eye is grotesquely swollen completely shut and the right one is swelling up).
Glad this is still a robust community. I'll try to check in while I have vision in at least one eye. Take care.
