The Game of Thrones series has been a nice read so far

I just finished Memoirs of a Service Afloat by Raphael Semmes. Its incite on the political situation leading up to the war of northern aggression was eye-opening.

Good one. Also in enjoyed
But the answer really depends on the OP's proclivities.

That's going to be a good one.

Vince Flynn books are good, I got burned out after 5 or 6 though, taking a break. Dan Brown if you are into that stuff, Matthew Reiley has some good ones. Andy McDermott books were okay, very light and they read fast. Lone Survivor was a good one, but was not a quick read, took a while for things to kick off, once they did it went very fast.

I couldn't put this book down when I read it a few years ago.

I should give the hot zone a try. I keep meaning to and then forget about it.

its 700 pgs and I cant put it down.
Theo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by his longing for his mother, he clings to the one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art.
As an adult, Theo moves silkily between the drawing rooms of the rich and the dusty labyrinth of an antiques store where he works. He is alienated and in love--and at the center of a narrowing, ever more dangerous circle.

The Last Kingdom by Bernard Cornwell

There are several Mitch Rapp/Vince Flynn alternatives if you like that stuff
Daniel Silva, Brad Thor, Ted Bell, David Baldacci, Alex Berenson, Andrew Peterson, Andrew Britton, etc.
Silva's work is the most detailed and intellectually interesting, Thor is probably the closes to Flynn, although his dumb Athena Project storyline just won't die despite everyone telling him how much it sucks.

I normally like the medieval fantasy genre. But, on a whim, I started reading a spy thriller from Brad Thor called Black List. Even if the government was completel trustworthy, if even half of the technology talked about in this book exists, it's still scary as hell.
