Like title says I’m looking for more large stand alone books which are fast paced enough so I don’t bored and not so much world building that it gets bogged down.
Some books I loved:
11.22.63 by King
The Stand by King
the passage by Cronin
Fairytale by King
Some of these I liked but didn’t love
Babel by KF Kuang
The Rise and Fall of DODO by Stephenson
The deluge by Markley
Under the Dome by King
Magpie Murders by Horowitz
Longer books that I DNFed (too slow)
Jonathan Strange & Mr Newell
Termination Shock by Stephenson
The Bee Sting by Murray
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Matthew Reilly Ice Station (1st in the Scarecrow series)
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GLOBE,
Anarctica is the last unconquered continent, a murderous expanse of howling winds, blinding whiteouts and deadly crevasses. On one edge of Antarctica is Wilkes Station. Beneath Wilkes Station is the gate to hell itself…IN THE COLDEST PLACE ON EARTH, A team of U.S. divers, exploring three thousand feet beneath the ice shelf has vanished. Sending out an SOS, Wilkes draws a rapid deployment team of Marines-and someone else…THE HEAT IS ON…
First comes a horrific firefight. Then comes a plunge into a drowning pool filled with killer whales. Next comes the hard part, as a handful of survivors begin an electrifying, red-hot, non-stop battle of survival across the continent and against wave after wave of elite military assassins-who’ve all come for one thing: a secret buried deep beneath the ice…
Only 310 to 400 pages but just throwing in Pirate Latitudes. A Pirate heist novel by Michael Crichton.
Fast paced and pirates in the golden age of piracy.
Maybe it’s time to start your journey into the Dark Tower.
