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!

A PANDEMIC 70,000 YEARS IN THE MAKING...
WILL CHANGE HUMANITY...
FOREVER.
__________________________________________________________________
In Marbella, Spain, Dr. Kate Warner awakens to a horrifying reality: the human race stands on the brink of extinction. A pandemic unlike any before it has swept the globe. Nearly a billion people are dead--and those that the Atlantis Plague does not kill, it transforms at the genetic level. A few rapidly evolve. The remainder devolve.
As the world slips into chaos, radical solutions emerge. Industrialized nations offer a miracle drug, Orchid, which they mass produce and distribute to refugee camps around the world. But Orchid is merely a way to buy time. It treats the symptoms of the plague but never cures the disease.
Immari International offers a different approach: do nothing. Let the plague run its course. The Immari envision a world populated by the genetically superior survivors--a new human race, ready to fulfill its destiny.
With control of the world population hanging in the balance, the Orchid Alliance and the Immari descend into open warfare. Now the last hope for humanity is to find a cure. Kate alone holds the key to unraveling the mystery surrounding the Atlantis Plague. The answer may lie in understanding pivotal events in human history--events when the human genome mysteriously changed. Her journey takes her across the barren wastelands of Europe and northern Africa, but it is her research into the past that takes her where she never expected to go. She soon discovers that the history of human evolution is not what it seems--and setting it right may require a sacrifice she never imagined.

THIS KILLER CARVES HIS VICTIMS!
RN Gina Mazzio and her long-time love, Harry Lucke, are deep into marriage plans when a particularly nasty murder intervenes—the bookkeeper in their friend Lolly’s office has been raped and carved up. The worst part? The carving occurred before the murder.
Lolly suspects her cardiologist boss, Dr. Mort Tallent, is involved. And since Gina helped her friend get “the job of a lifetime,” she jumps right into the fire. What she uncovers? Mort is one unsavory cardiologist.
His ex-wife was murdered when she dumped him a year ago, and there's some shady shenanigans of a business nature—the kind you might kill to keep secret.
Worst of all, there’s that pal of his, the kind of person you never want to meet in a dark alley, or anywhere else.
Digging after-hours at Tallent’s office, Gina and Lolly never realize they're under surveillance. Afterwards: Lolly is horribly and brutally attacked, in much the same way the bookkeeper was. There's only one possible conclusion: she knew too much.
Gina is the next target.
Once again, in Bone Crack, the Lambs deliver a pulse-pounding tale of medical suspense packed with action, terror, and, of course, the requisite Mazzio mayhem.
These authors’ patented “not-for-the squeamish” signature applies as usual—so if you're skittish, beware! As always with Gina, this is an action-packed but shocking, take-no-prisoners story. Definitely not for the faint-hearted, but fans of the more hard-boiled medical thrillers (and also of Patricia Cornwell) will eat it up! As will lovers of strong women sleuths, hospital mysteries, and all medical fiction, especially fans of Tess Gerritsen, Carolyn McCray, Eileen Dreyer, Lisa Genova, and Robin Cook.
Praise for the Lambs
"In Gina Mazzio and Harry Lucke, the Lambs have created a tenacious and engaging duo who are worth rooting for." Sheldon Siegel, New York Times best-selling author
"A chilling, gripping thriller by a talented writing couple." Marcia Muller, MWA Grand Master, on SIN & BONE
Critically-acclaimed author Ed Kovacs presents his most heart-stopping, can’t–put-it-down spies & politics thriller to date. Queen of the espionage thriller, New York Times bestselling author Gayle Lynds said “Kovacs writes like a master.” Bestselling author Jonathan Maberry said “Kovacs comes out of the gate with a bang.” And Steve Berry called Kovacs a “vivid addition to the thriller genre.”
In Kovacs’ latest nail-biter, when a former NSA analyst is targeted for assassination by rogue elements of the Chinese and U.S. governments, she’s forced to team with a renegade CIA spy and fight back using technology to extract the ultimate form of justice. The tension and suspense locks in on the first page and doesn’t let up until the last.
While on a carefree vacation in Hong Kong, a former analyst and computer engineer with the National Security Agency has one concern: bargain hunting. Thirty-year-old Nicole Grant is a methodical planner and leads a carefully structured life working in the private sector for an IT security firm. She works behind a desk, plans out every hour of every day, and almost never succumbs to impulse.
But when a face from the past shows up—a past when she was involved in super-secret high-tech espionage for the American government—her bargain hunting excursion turns deadly and now it’s she who’s being hunted.
Nicole’s safe, meticulously constructed world is instantly turned upside down. An engineer with a technological mindset who's been a life-long desk jockey, she’s forced to go on the run and team with a sketchy CIA spook named Ron Hernandez, a troubled former special operations soldier who may or may not be a saving grace.
As she fights back using what she knows best—computers—to stay one step ahead of her pursuers, Nicole comes face-to-face with a searing family guilt she has carried for years. Beyond that, if she and Hernandez are to beat the odds stacked against them, not only must Nicole learn how to operate in the field, she has to learn how to throw the plan out the window and improvise in the face of overwhelming obstacles.
The sixth thriller novel from Ed Kovacs, LOCKED DOWN, is a new addition to the time-honored espionage, suspense, and tecnothriller traditions of Robert Ludlum, Michael Crichton, David Baldacci, Vince Flynn, and Brad Thor.
A breathtaking near-future thriller -- by the NY Times bestselling author whose books have been downloaded over a million times.
When Nick Hall wakes up in a dumpster--bloodied, without a memory, and hearing voices in his head--he knows things are bad. But they're about to get far worse. Because he's being hunted by a team of relentless assassins. Soon Hall discovers that advanced electronics have been implanted in his brain, and he now has two astonishing abilities. He can surf the web using thoughts alone. And he can read minds. But who's responsible? And why is someone so desperate to kill him?
As Hall battles for survival and races to find answers, he comes to learn that far more is at stake than just his life. Because his actions can either catapult civilization to new heights--or bring about its total collapse.
Based on actual research on thought-controlled web surfing, Mind's Eye is a smart, roller-coaster ride of a thriller. One that raises a number of intriguing possibilities about a future that is just around the corner.
Be sure to look for Mind War (Nick Hall 3) coming in Oct/Nov 2016
