The Day Of The Jackal
1.  The Day Of The Jackal by Frederick Forsyth
The list author says:
  "The amount of detail in this is incredible, so much so that at the time of writing you could probably have used it as a guide to becoming a hitman."

Fatherland
2.  Fatherland by Robert Harris
The list author says:
  "The blend of fact and fiction makes for a convincing story set in a world where the Nazis won. Of Harris' other books you should avoid Enigma, but Archangel and Pompeii are also great."
Used & New from: £0.01

The Black Echo
4.  The Black Echo by Michael Connelly
The list author says:
  "This is what a detective story should be; straightforward, not like something like Gorky Park which seems to assume you know the plot already, so poorly is it put across."
Used & New from: £0.01

The Eagle Has Landed
9.  The Eagle Has Landed by Jack Higgins
The list author says:
  "A historical novel without the history, the kind of entertaining nonsense that literary types look down their nose at."

Magician (Riftwar Saga)
10.  Magician (Riftwar Saga) by Raymond E. Feist
The list author says:
  "It's as original as any other modern fantasy (i.e not very) but is pleasingly epic.  Try and find the extended version of this book and don't bother with the other two in the trilogy, they're boring."
£5.95   Used & New from: £0.01

Life of Pi
11.  Life of Pi by Yann Martel
The list author says:
  "A bizarre story, probably full of metaphors and all that but taken at face value makes good reading."

Jurassic Park
12.  Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton
The list author says:

Northern Lights: WITH Subtle Knife AND Amber Spyglass (His Dark Materials)
13.  Northern Lights: WITH Subtle Knife AND Amber Spyglass (His Dark Materials) by Philip Pullman
The list author says:
  "The first book is perhaps a little slow to get going, but picks up speed soon enough. The ending to the trilogy is probably one of the saddest things I've ever read even though it's meant for kids!"
Used & New from: £2.17

Lord of the Flies
14.  Lord of the Flies by William Golding
The list author says:
  "I didn't like it first time round, but repeated reading reveals an almost ridiculous amount of depth. The sad thing is that the story is probably what would happen in such a situation."
£5.19   Used & New from: £0.01
