Jack Du Brul's series featuring geologist (and ex-CIA commando) Philip Mercer is just the thing for readers who crave testosterone-rich tales of danger like those crafted by Douglas J. Preston and Lincoln Child. -- Krista Biggs
Whether writing together or separately, Douglas J. Preston and Lincoln Child create stories featuring exotic and dangerous settings, as does Clive Cussler in his Dirk Pitt series. These novels contain similar elements - treasure or secrets or other intriguing backgrounds, adventure, and high-tech toys. -- Shauna Griffin
Chris Kuzneski and Douglas J. Preston write compelling, intricately plotted, action-packed books filled with nail-biting suspense. Their clear and direct prose, breakneck pacing, and exciting adventures involve ancient archaeological secrets, modern political conspiracies, and gritty violence. -- Derek Keyser
F. Paul Wilson and team authors Douglas J. Preston and Lincoln Child write in the genres of horror, suspense, and science fiction, often within the space of one novel. Their plots are inventive, adventurous, and filled with action and intrigue. Wilson incorporates supernatural elements more often than Preston and Child. -- Jessica Zellers
The adventures are non-stop and the body counts are high in the novels of Scott Sigler and co-authors Douglas J. Preston and Lincoln Child. Their books blur the distinctions between science fiction, suspense, and horror. -- Jessica Zellers
Action, adventure, ancient civilizations, modern-day science, and some creative genre-blurring are all part of Douglas J. Preston and Lincoln Child's irresistible, adrenaline-rich books. Their novels are excellent suggestions for readers who like James Rollins' genre-blending suspense stories and vice versa. -- Krista Biggs
