The novels of Stuart Woods and David Baldacci use themes of politics, corporate secrets, and espionage to advance their breakneck plots rife with suspense and power-hungry characters. -- Tara Bannon Williamson
Screenwriter Stephen Cannell's adventure, suspense, and thriller novels may be told in more blunt prose than David Baldacci's, but there are often similar themes -- conspiracy and corruption -- and the pacing is every bit as page-turning. -- Kim Burton
Though David Baldacci pens thrillers while Jeffrey Archer writes suspense, both authors are known for their fast-paced, intricately twisted plots filled with political skullduggery. They're also alike in their use of good versus evil, black-and-white characters, and engaging heroes. -- Ellen Guerci
Just like David Baldacci, Brad Meltzer sets his page-turning thrillers against diverse high-power backgrounds -- financial, political, law enforcement, legal. He also offers action-filled plots and sympathetic protagonists battling powerful and deadly opponents. -- Krista Biggs

It's hard to believe that anyone who has read David Baldacci has overlooked John Grisham, but for such a reader Grisham's tense, fast-paced, suspense-building stories will appeal -- especially if less graphically violent content is also welcome. -- Kim Burton
