Recommend me novels with smart protagonist + smart antagonist + smart plot. No asspulls. The plans and schemes and resolutions and twists should be plausible. I just read a really dumb novel, need to regain my brain cells.
>>1576724The Fist of God by Frederick Forsyth, albeit it doesn't have a clear antagonist, unless you count Saddam Hussein (it's about the lead-up to the First Gulf War)
