Definition of "Thriller Genre": The thriller genre is very broad and can be difficult to define. However, the focus of a thriller ebook is typically on action, danger and suspense. The genre can be broken into an almost infinite number of sub-genres, including action thrillers (think Clive Cussler ebooks), romance thrillers, psychological thrillers (think Psycho by Hitchcock), science fiction thrillers, and spy thrillers, just to name a few. Common elements can include car chases, gun shoot outs, explosions, or in the case of psychological thrillers, the elements of danger can be related to the mental manipulation of characters by other characters. It is an expansive genre, and one of the most popular at eBookHounds.
Some examples of the best thriller authors and ebooks of all time: Dan Brown (The Da Vinci Code), Robert Ludlum (The Bourne Identity), Michael Crichton (The Andromeda Strain), John Grisham (Time to Kill), John D. MacDonald (Cape Fear); James Patterson (Kiss the Girls). As you can see, ebooks in the thriller category vary widely in their substance, and the sub-genres can almost be considered genres of their own!

Atlanta keeps finding bodies that look like surgical experiments.
The one agent who can think like the killer is starting to scare himself.
The media call him the Surgeon. He's patient, he's precise, and he takes a trophy from every victim he opens up. The FBI's new Heinous Crimes Unit was built for monsters exactly like him — so they hand the case to Christian Windsor, a rookie who would rather live inside data than anywhere near other people. Christian can do something no one else on the team can: follow a killer's logic step by step until he's standing inside it. It makes him the best shot they have. It also means every case leaves a little more of the dark behind in him.
But the most dangerous predator Christian will ever hunt isn't the Surgeon. It's the man training him to do the hunting. Luke Titan is brilliant, charming, the agent everyone trusts — and the plans he has for Christian stretch across continents, prison cells, and a body count that climbs with every case. What begins as one savage murder file becomes a years-long war between a damaged young man discovering what he's capable of and the mentor who wants nothing more than to set that capability loose.
This collection brings together all nine Heinous Crimes Unit thrillers — the complete saga in a single volume, from the first body in Atlanta to the last move in a game only two men understand. Fair warning: most readers finish book one in a single sitting, then keep right on going.
A dark, relentless FBI serial-killer saga. Not for the faint of heart.

He thought his war was over. The CIA disagreed.
After a devastating crash ends his Marine Corps flying career, Duncan Hunter is quietly recruited into a highly classified Special Access Program—one so secret it officially doesn’t exist. His new mission: pilot a near-silent surveillance aircraft over cartel territory and gather intelligence no satellite or drone can capture.
But the War on Drugs is only the surface.
As Hunter is drawn deeper into the intelligence community’s shadow world, he begins to sense that the operation serves interests far beyond narcotics interdiction. Political agendas, covert alliances, and international power plays blur the line between patriotism and manipulation. And when events spiral beyond the original mission, Hunter finds himself navigating a battlefield with no uniforms, no rules, and no clear allies.
To survive, he must rely on the instincts that once kept him alive in combat—discipline, precision, and the courage to act when hesitation means death.
Special Access launches the Duncan Hunter Thriller series with a gripping blend of covert aviation, intelligence tradecraft, and ripped-from-the-headlines geopolitics. Perfect for readers of Brad Thor, Vince Flynn, and Mark Greaney.
