Ward’s Top-5: Writers Whose Books I Never Miss

Each month I post Top-5 Lists covering a variety of topics: books, movies, foods, etc. If you have a topic you want me to provide a list for, contact me.

I stay pretty busy writing and flying, but here are a few authors whose books I make time for:

Mark Greaney
Mark is a pro who’s been writing for a long time, and his Gray Man series is not to be missed. As an author I appreciate how he comes up with such great, timely ideas—even his side plots are highly entertaining.

Michael Connelly
Harry Bosch is an iconic character, and the TV series is a top-notch adaptation. Also love the Lincoln Lawyer books, and enjoy how Connelly weaves the two series together.

Brad Thor
I’ve been a Scot Harvath fan for over twenty years. If you want today’s headlines read The New York Times. If you want tomorrow’s read Brad Thor.

Lee and Andrew Child
Jack Reacher is a force of nature, and I look forward to the yearly installment like a kid in a candy store. Pure entertainment.

Vince Flynn
I got hooked on Vince’s books right out of the gate. His untimely passing was a great loss, but Kyle Mills picked up the stories without missing a beat. Next year Don Bentley takes the reins, and I can’t wait to see his plans for Mitch Rapp.
