This guy is one of my all-time favorite writers... I've read all his books.. he just knows a lot keda.. he writes about lawyers, doctors, assassins, ambassadors and he spans tens of countries in his novels.. I was always impressed by his storylines and his knowledgebase... "Un-put-down-able" is how they described his books, and they really were..

His novels were:
  • The Naked Face (1970)
  • The Other Side of Midnight (1973)
  • A Stranger in the Mirror (1976)
  • Bloodline (1977)
  • Rage of Angels (1980)
  • Master of the Game (1982)
  • If Tomorrow Comes (1985)
  • Windmills of the Gods (1987)
  • The Sands of Time (1988)
  • Memories of Midnight (1990)
  • The Doomsday Conspiracy (1991)
  • The Stars Shine Down (1992)
  • Nothing Lasts Forever (1994)
  • Morning, Noon and Night (1995)
  • The Best Laid Plans (1997)
  • Tell Me Your Dreams (1998)
  • The Sky is Falling (2001)
  • Are You Afraid of the Dark? (2004)

And his autobiography, "The Other Side of Me", published last year..

Too bad this man wont be writing no more..

  1. Interesting...I've always heard this guy's name but I never read a single book. If you were to recommend one, which would it be?

  2. i'd say any of them except Doomsday Conspiracy (i didnt like it).. .

    I liked Tell me your dreams and Are you afraid of the dark a lot..

    Bloodline is cool..

    Memories of Midnight is a sequel to the other side of midnight..

    i'd say read the synopsis and get the one that appeals most to you (but stay away from Doomsday Conspiracy :))

  3. I read once that a much higher percentage of people than would be statistically expected die within a month or so after their birthdays.
