12.21, by Dustin Thomason

Very much in the tradition of Michael Crichton, 12.21 is a rollicking, fast paced thriller. Chel Manu, a Guatemalan American artifact researcher at the Getty Museum, recieves a copy of a smuggled ancient Mayan codex- an invaluable find that she knows was illegally looted, yet she can't resist trying to find out what it says.
At the same time, in a charity hospital in East LA, an intelligent and perceptive resident, Michaela Thane, begins to suspect that the disease a John Doe is suffering from might be prion-based, and contacts Gabe Stanton, a CDC investigator and expert on prion diseases.
This is a stuffed-to-bursting book, with ancient history, speculation, high-tech labs and old-school potions, hints of romance, lots of action, and an ending that ties it all together and leaves the reader wanting more. For fans of Dan Brown, Michael Crighton, or Richard Preston.

The Ghost, by Robert Harris

Phenomenal thriller.
When a ghostwriter is offered the chance to write the autobiography of a former Prime Minister, he jumps at the chance, but as he starts reaching back into the past, he learns more than is safe to know.
This was just exceptional in every way- a perfect tense thriller with teasing hints of veiled reality, no gore, but a lucid and wonderfully written book.
So freaking good.

The Third Gate, by Lincoln Child

Ludicrous adventure thriller filled with psychics, billionaire eccentrics, Egyptian tombs and curses, and even a nice episode of possession. Quick read? Yes. Good read? If you are into ludicrous adventure thrillers filled with psychics, billionaire eccentrics, Egyptian tombs and curses, and even a nice episode of possession, then this is your book!

The Atlantis Code, by Charles Brokaw

Fast paced international conspiracy thriller. Well done, much snappier than The Lost Symbol.
