Adventure novels from top authors

Many of the most popular books from recent years are adventure books, with top authors creating masterful works of imagination that see memorable characters journeying through worlds from the familiar to the strange and alien. Several of the top adventure authors have seen their work adapted for film and TV, like George R. R. Martin, Ernest Cline, Max Brooks and Andrzej Sapkowski. Other adventure books may not be as well known as those that have been turned into films and TV shows, but they are no less engaging. For something fresh and new, take a look at Becky Chambers’ debut novel, The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet, Abi Daré’s harrowing The Girl with the Louding Voice, and Chloe Gong’s stunning fantasy reimagining of Romeo & Juliet, These Violent Delights.
