>>25271069Bernard CromwellI'm only reading boomercore this summer. Been great so far. I'm focusing on the three C's: Clancy, Cussler, and Cromwell. I honestly forgot about Crichton, so I will have to add him in as well.

>>25271069>Ludlum (Borne Identity; Prometheus Deception is very timely)>Le Carre (French spy boomer)And there's always the Bond novels, Fleming and the second licensed run.
I remembered liking Rainbow Six as a teenager but the glazing of israel was annoying.

>>25271069>boomercoreDo you mean boomer authors, or boomer readers? How far back do you want to go? Plenty of respectable thriller writers a generation or so before the guys you listed.Example: Gavin Lyall. His early stuff is flying based (he was in the RAF in WWII) but later he branches out.Basic premise of <pic attached>: hero is an English Korean War vet trying to earn a living as a charter pilot in the Carribbean. He gets mixed up with a revolution and a USA film crew headed by a John Wayne-type star. It ends with a cool bombing run where they don't actually have any bombs and have to improvise.
>>25271069>>25272548>Dick FrancisSecond this. He's amazingly good given everyone assumed he was this random illiterate jockey. (You have to wonder how much his wife polished them to be fair.)Warning: the early ones are much better. (Dead Cert, Nerve, For Kicks, Flying Finish, Odds Against, Bonecrack, etc.) There are about a dozen good ones, then he gets worse, then he falls off a cliff. Just do them in order if you can.Fun fact: he was pretty much the only contemporary author Philip Larkin bothered to read during the 60s / 70s / early 80s.
>>25272535I wonder if Jimmy Page was inspired by this book.
