Adrenaline Fiction – Get Your Heart Pumping

This brings to mind Stone Barrington (of Loitering With Intent by Stuart Woods, plus many others). He’s a bit a rogue and a bad boy, but he is certainly both smooth-talking and charming. And, oh yes, it can be grisly. Picture John Corey in Plum Island by Nelson Demille and his awesome disemboweling scene. Adrenaline fiction is not limited to a certain time or a particular place, or even just one genre. It can be a mystery or a thriller or an adventure novel. You can get the same reading experience with non-fiction. The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger and Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer are examples of real events that are as fantastic as fiction.
