For more adventure in a similar period, the obvious choice is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and his Sherlock Holmes stories are justifiably classics - but [[The Complete Brigadier Gerard Stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]], despite being far less well known, are absolute gems. Another great action story published at around the same time is [[The Thirty-nine Steps by John Buchan]]. For a more modern recommendation, [[Infinity by Sherrilyn Kenyon]] is another gloriously crazy romp with similarly high levels of action and, while aimed at teens, will also appeal to adult fans of pulp fiction.
