	Techno-thriller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Techno-thrillers are a hybrid genre, drawing subject matter generally from spy thrillers, war novels, and science fiction.
		Techno-thrillers tend to have a broad scope in the narrative, and can often be regarded as contemporary speculative fiction—world wars are a common topic—and techno-thrillers often overlap, as far as the genre goes, with near-future science fiction.
		Michael Crichton is often regarded as the grandfather of the genre, his 1969 novel The Andromeda Strain combining elements of rigorous, hard science fiction and detective fiction in a thriller context.

	Mystery Guide - Thriller subgenre page
		The average thriller is longer than the average mystery, which makes a rapid pace essential to success; when skillfully written, thrillers can also carry the load of bigger themes than strict realism will allow.
		Thriller is among the most loosely-used terms in the genre, being applied to any book with even a little action or adventure.
		Almost all thriller protagonists are male, and they usually aren't the weedy, whiny, Woody Allen type either.

	Politics
		Bet a dollar to a dime that that’s why the senators rejected the nuclear proliferation treaty last year --- in addition to their desire to show up President Clinton, they suffer from techno-thriller lag.
		But then I happened to pick up one of those old techno-thrillers, a vintage late Cold War gem, that had the Soviets hiding astonishing technological capabilities, all the better to eat us with, me dear.
		How fiendishly cunning those Soviets were in the thrillers --- and I realized you can’t have an entire genre of literature loose in a society for years and years without repercussions.

	Book reviews, mystery, suspense, thrillers, true crime, horror
		Since Tom Clancy writes detailed techno thrillers, making such comparisons meaningless and absurd, a better comparison might be made between Hannibal Jones to the "Lucas Davenport" character of the Prey series by John Sandford.
		Both authors are writing books that do not share connections of style, character development, plotting, pacing, or anything else in common other than the fact they both release books printed on paper.
		This author and his three mystery novels to date are well worth the read and worthy of a place on your bookshelf.

	Clinton Smith - interview with the author of The Fourth Eye
		I find many "blockbuster" thrillers slow-moving and padded and take enormous pains to write something pacey and absorbing, even making charts of the action that look like audio volume spikes.
		And my third thriller, a huge research task, is finished.
		For myself and an ideal reader I visualise as a military serviceman interested in fast-moving adventure thrillers that aren't "dummed down".

	Book reviews: "The Minotaur," "Defcon One"
		This arrangement is a departure from other techno-thrillers, but Coonts handles the dual storyline well and it keeps the book interesting.
		While "The Minotaur" is still a thriller, the action is either non-violent (but featuring spectacular high-performance flying) or non-military shootouts during the spy scenes.
		Coonts' writing is strongest in the areas of plot development and characterization.

		In fact, beyond that rather original encounter, sex vanishes and the film becomes pure thriller.
		Average in a mega-pickle, is not nuanced, but then he does not need to be.

	Interview with Dan Brown Writers Write -- The IWJ
		I've been excited because I've had a lot of people mail me and email to say that they are not techno-thriller readers and that they loved the book because of the other elements.
		I'm happy to say that Simon and Schuster has just purchased the rights to my next two novels, so I am hard at work on another techno-thriller.
		The hardest part was sifting through the techno babble and simmering it down to something fairly non-technical that anyone could understand and that would not bog down the plot.

	BOOK REVIEW: "Dragon's Fury: Breath of Fire"
		I am a big fan of both techno thrillers and future war books and Head's first novel delivers the goods and is far more interesting and plausible than most of the other books that have taken on these topics recently.
		If your looking for a great techno thriller, or like international political intrigue "Dragon's Fury" is well worth the read.
		The characters are particularly well drawn and I liked the fact that the enemies are treated in a fully interesting and sympathetic mannner, unlike many thrillers where the bad guys are only stick figures, and so fully evil you can neither sympathize with them nor even believe they could exist.

	Le Recueil, la référence en matière de techno-thriller
		Pourtant ce terme défini par l'auteur américain Tom Clancy désigne un thriller qui a généralement lieu dans le futur mais qui se base toujours sur des faits réels.
		Ce mot à la mode dont la signification dérive au grès des années vers celle d'un thriller à suspense certains l'ont même appliqué à des titres de science fiction.
		C'est pour cette raison que ces auteurs se sont à plusieurs reprises vus qualifiés de visionnaires, on ne compte plus les cas ou la fiction a rattrapé la réalité.

	Plan of Attack, by Dale Brown - Book Review - Large Print Reviews
		A word of warning, the beginning of the book tends to be 'techno' heavy with weapon systems command structures, and military equipment described in minute detail.
		Plan of Attack is a hard-nosed, pulse pounding thriller that will have the hairs on your head standing on end.
		However, once the basic paraphernalia used in the story is described, the story flows much smoother, and faster.
