 As long as everyone else is joining in ...

 I like Follet but he has a lot of sexual perversion, swearing and
 the like. Do any of his books not use this cheap technique to
 further the plot?  Maybe my standards are to high.
  I liked Alaistar Maclean but his stories seem to be more of the
same topics with different characters in different places. His 
earlier stuff is better.

  I like Joe Poyer, Craig Thomas ( Fire Fox, and others ), I really
like Ludlum his stories have bulk to them, if just in pages.
