Just recalling that I used to read a ton of pulp adventure thriller writers as a teenager but never do anymore. Alistair Maclean, Desmond Bagley, Dick Francis, Clive Cussler, Robert Ludlum, Wilbur Smith (all incidentally available widely in India often in cheap pirated editions)

I think Clive Cussler was my favorite. NOAA explorer-investigator Dirk Pitt.

Dick Francis (horse racing world adventures) was second favorite. Among the generics I think I liked Bagley best, though Nackean was more famous.

Read lots of Francis when living in hotels for a couple years. Also Chesbro, Estleman, AE Maxwell, McDonald (fletch and Flynn), Parker, Stout...

Never heard of the others. The Indian market was very narrow back in the day. Only a few high-volume English authors broke through.
