I read a lot of books, and have a lot of authors I follow.
There are a dozen authors I could name that I read as soon as another book comes out.
Adrian Goldsworthy, David Gilman, Jerry auteri, et al. Are awesome too. Just depends what you’re looking for.

Have all of the listed authors been vetted for correct stances on the important issues?

John Sandford...either Lucas or that "F**in Flowers...and John Connally's Charlie Parker books...each new release costs me the better part of a day...and then reread a few weeks later. If you can start "Rules of Prey" and then set it down after a few chapters...I'm just glad I'm mostly retired and the horses are used to a variable feeding schedule...

Hands down, the finest prose in the English language: Patrick O'Brien.
His epic Master and Commander series, plus others. Right on! Love O’Brien! Mark in GA

Stuart Woods wrote great books back in the 70s and 80s. He's wrote a [bleep]-ton of bullshit since...

His epic Master and Commander series, plus others. Along those lines there’s… C.S. Forester The Hornblower series. Alexander Kent The Richard Bolitho series. Good stuff. dave

Recently read again, Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" saga. 15 volumes, about 12,000 pages.
Terry Goodkind with "Sword of Truth" is another entertaining fantasy saga.
I enjoyed Heinlein a great deal when in Elementary and in Junior High School. But I have not touched any of his work in fifty years.
Clancy.....Anything featuring Jack Ryan. I did Heinlein and Isaac Asimov years ago. Not bad for si fi . Perfered Frank Herbert’s Dune. Get a kick out of the movies…. dave

Eric Metaxas. Have loved all of his books, personal narratives, etc. Non fiction, but wow.
