Authors similar to Frederick Forsyth?

[Spencermm]

I just finished reading several Frederick Forsyth books and I really enjoyed them. I'm somewhat new to this genre and would like to continue in this vein.
Anyone have any suggestions for me?
Thanks for any input,
Spencer

Just off the top of my head:

Tom Clancy
Stephen Coonts (sp?)
John Grisham
Clive Cussler (Any of the Dirk Pitt series are Dive related - Sahara the movie with Mathew McConnaghey was based on his book)
Ken Follett
Jack Higgins
Robert Ludlum (The Bourne Identity etc..)

I went to the library before I read your post. Got a book by a young arthor I've not hear of before- Andrew Britton.
I saved all your suggestions and will pick one for my next book.
Thanks for the help,
