Black Hawk Down
4.  Black Hawk Down by Mark Bowden

Silence Of The Lambs
5.  Silence Of The Lambs by Thomas Harris
The list author says:

Legend
6.  Legend by David Gemmell
The list author says:
  "Everything by Gemmell is masterful. This is probably the best starting point, and certainly his best character. As good at writing fantasy as Tolkien in my book, but very different."
£5.99   Used & New from: £0.01
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (74 customer reviews)

Good Omens
7.  Good Omens by Neil Gaiman
The list author says:
  "Pratchett is a fantastic writer of comedy and here with Neil Gaiman he has probably produced his best novel. Anything in the Disk World Series is worth a read though."

4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (122 customer reviews)

The Fist Of God :
8.  The Fist Of God : by Frederick Forsyth
The list author says:
  "Forsyth is a great storyteller. Here the events of the first Gulf war take on a whole new meaning. I always feel I come away from reading a Forsyth Novel having learnt something."
£5.59   Used & New from: £0.01
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (28 customer reviews)

The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy
9.  The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams
The list author says:
  "The Hitchhikers Guide (and it's sequels) are probably the funniest words ever commited to paper - sheer genius. If you like this, try and catch the radio version."

Drachenfels (Warhammer)
10.  Drachenfels (Warhammer) by Jack Yeovil
The list author says:
  "I'm a sucker for the GW world. This novel is a good introduction, and has some interesting plot twists. Have also played the RPG and this is also superb."
Used & New from: £0.01
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

Clan Novel: Toreador (Vampire: The Masquerade Clanbooks)
11.  Clan Novel: Toreador (Vampire: The Masquerade Clanbooks) by Stewart Wieck
The list author says:
  "The best series of books ever (13 novels in all). This book is not the best in the series (each has a different author), but once you get to book two you are hooked. If you like WOD read this."
Used & New from: £0.01
