    Stephen King - He was excellent about 7 books into his career and then 'it' got to be the same basic story, over and over.

    Dale Brown - a good 'cold war' story teller, until he began to run out of countries to fight with?

    Clive Cussler - A GREAT mystery/history writer that was able to turn spinoffs from his franchise into decent adventure series.

    Harold Coyle - good writer - made the jump from modern war to the Civil War.

    Larry Bond - Another 'war' writer that picks fights with some old and new enemies. He also has gone into the spinoff/series mode that kinda got tired after a while.

    I love Neal Stephenson's books, but one HAS to slog through the first couple chapters before it picks up. All that stuff is necessary, mind you, but I get a little impatient sometimes!

    George R. R. Martin. All his characters are villains to a degree, and get killed off left and right! (Game of Thrones)
