Under the Eagle
5.  Under the Eagle by Simon Scarrow
The list author says:
  "Poorly written, laughable dialogue, Scarrow actually uses phrases like "done in" regularly in the narrative and his attempt at recreating military life is just to have everyone swear constantly."

The Da Vinci Code
6.  The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown
The list author says:
