Ask HN: Books as cool as Jason Bourne series

3 pointsgautamsomani2 comments

I hold Robert Lundlum's Jason Bourne trilogy as a gold standard of spy novels. Are there are more books/series like these? Please do share.

Shibumi by Trevanian. Ice Station Zebra by MacLean. Clive Cussler novels. Tom Clancy. Last of the Breed by Louis L'Amour. Scaramouche and Captain Blood by Rafael Sabatini.

(Note: Many of these contain some really ridiculous, outdated language and treatment of various groups of people.)

I work with a writer who writes high velocity spy novels.
