Dan Brown's 'The Da Vinci Code' is also very popular. It combines action with mystery and historical elements. The main character, Robert Langdon, is on a race against time to solve a mystery that could change the world, with lots of thrilling chase scenes and puzzles to solve.
I also highly recommend 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' by Stieg Larsson. The story has a complex plot with a journalist and a hacker girl investigating a long - lost mystery. There are elements of danger, action, and a lot of suspense as they dig deeper into the dark secrets.
Sure. 'Gone Girl' by Gillian Flynn is a gripping action thriller. It's not your typical action in terms of guns and chases all the time. But the psychological twists and turns create a lot of action - like tension as the story unfolds about a missing woman and her husband.
Sure. 'The Hunger Games' by Suzanne Collins can be a good start. It has action, a bit of a thriller aspect as the characters fight for their lives in the arena. Another one is 'I Am Number Four' by Pittacus Lore. It has an exciting plot about a boy on the run from aliens. And 'The Maze Runner' by James Dashner is also great. It's full of mystery and action as the characters try to escape the maze.
Lee Child's 'Jack Reacher' series is also great. For example, in 'Killing Floor'. Reacher is a tough ex - military man who gets involved in solving various crimes. The books are full of intense fight scenes and clever deductions.
Sure. 'The Bodyguard' is a good one. It's a simple yet engaging story with a bodyguard (lots of action there) falling in love with the person he is protecting. It's easy to follow and has a good mix of action, thriller and romance.
Sure. 'In Cold Blood' by Truman Capote is a great thriller. It's a non - fictional novel that reads like a thriller. It tells the story of a real - life murder in a very detailed and suspenseful way.
Sure. 'My Sister, the Serial Killer' by Oyinkan Braithwaite is a great thriller. It's a unique take on the thriller genre as it explores the relationship between two sisters where one is a serial killer. The Nigerian setting also adds an interesting cultural dimension to the story.
Sure. 'The Hunger Games' trilogy by Suzanne Collins can be a good start. It has action, a bit of a post - apocalyptic setting, and a strong female lead. Another option is 'The Maze Runner' by James Dashner. It's full of mystery and the action of the kids trying to escape the maze is exciting. 'Divergent' by Veronica Roth is also great. The concept of the factions and the action within the story make it an interesting read for beginners.
Vince Flynn's 'Transfer of Power' is also worth reading. It takes place during a terrorist attack on the White House. The political ramifications of such an attack, the fight against the terrorists, and the complex characters involved create a gripping political action thriller.
Well, 'Jack Reacher' series by Lee Child is a great example of action thriller fiction books. The main character, Jack Reacher, is a tough ex - military man who gets involved in all sorts of dangerous situations. Then there's 'James Bond' series. These books are filled with high - speed chases, dangerous villains, and of course, Bond's charm. Also, '24 Hours' by Greg Iles is a thrilling read. It's a fast - paced story that takes place within a day and has a lot of action and suspense.
I'd recommend 'The Twilight Saga' by Stephenie Meyer. Although it is more known for its romance, there are also action - filled parts like the battles between vampires and werewolves. 'The Maze Runner' by James Dashner is a great action fiction. The boys trapped in the maze and their struggle to escape is very exciting. And 'Ready Player One' by Ernest Cline. The main character's journey through the virtual world filled with challenges and dangerous enemies is action - packed.
Sure. 'The Giver' by Lois Lowry is a classic. It's a thought - provoking action - filled story about a boy named Jonas who discovers the truth about his seemingly perfect but actually very controlled society. 'The Darkest Minds' by Alexandra Bracken is another great one. Teens with special powers are on the run from the government. 'The 5th Wave' by Rick Yancey is also good. It's about an alien invasion and how the teens fight back.
