|
 | Three Great Novels - The Bourne Trilogy: "The Bourne Identity", "The Bourne Supremacy", "The Bourne Ultimatum" by Robert Ludlum

|
 | King Con: A Novel by Stephen J. Cannell
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01 I think this is the famous TV producers best work in fiction writing. If you liked "sting" scenarios with unpredictable outcomes, this is your book.

|
 | Consent to Kill: A Thriller (Mitch Rapp Novels) by Vince Flynn
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.67 My favorite Flynn book, but you may want to read the preceeding Mitch Rapp books to get the background on this one. But it has one of the best revenge plots I've read.
|

|
 | Numbered Account by Christopher Reich

|
 | First Blood by David Morrell
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $3.36 Need I say anything here? Have you seen the movie in lieu of reading the book? Shame on you.
|
 | World Without End by Chris Mooney
Buy used from: $0.01 Oh, this is one vicious villain, but you'll endear to him. Terrorist type plotting, but that's not the heart of the story.
|
