I am finishing up The Godfather by Mario Puzo right now and am looking for a new read. I am enjoying the book very much and I want something similar. Preferably 200-400 pages (but can be more) that has a fast paced narrative that engaging with action and subtlety. I like realistic fiction but I also enjoyed Dune if that’s any help.

Hmm. If you liked Dune, then Pale Grey Dot by Don Miasek is sci-fi action with subtle narration.
_Shibumi_ by Trevanian
[Age of Vice by Deepti Kapoor](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60177466-age-of-vice). At 544 pages it exceeds your preference, but it is so fast paced and compelling you may not notice.
*Private Owens: A George Owens Novel* starts slow but gets moving along. Lots of action and great battle scenes, and it’s all pretty realistically done.
*The Court-Martial of Daniel Boone* by Allan Eckert.
