Most of Frederick Forsythe's books are action thrillers and they are simply AWESOME !

Day of the jackal, Devil's Alternative, The Afghan are the ones which I can recall right away.

WEll the problem with suggesting authors is that they are mostly one novel wonders that fail to live upto the expectations after the initial offing and if you happen to pick up the bad ones, you will hate them so much that you won't read the good one also

Am reading a political thriller right now, the manchurian candidate. If you have a penchant for politics, you will like it. Else here are a couple of thrillers(actually action) which are on my sony reader next list

(yep Rambo's novel )
Buchan, John. 1915. The Thirty-nine Steps (Rave reviews on this one... read online.)
