	Thriller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The thriller is a genre of fiction in which tough, resourceful, but essentially ordinary heroes are pitted against villains determined to destroy them, their country, or the stability of the free world.
		The plot of a thriller is usually driven by the villain, who presents obstacles that the hero must overcome.
		Odyssey is one of the oldest stories in the Western world and is regarded as an early prototype of the thriller.

	Thriller
		Thrillers are typically novels or movies, though television series such as Alias, 24, The Sandbaggers and Spooks also fall into this genre, along with such non-fiction bestsellers as Holy Blood, Holy Grail and even Fermat's Enigma, Simon Singh's account of the conquest of Fermat's Last Theorem.
		Thriller fiction, sometimes called suspense fiction, is a genre of literature that typically entails fast-paced plots, numerous action scenes, and limited character development.
		Thriller fiction has its origins in the adventure stories of Edgar Allen Poe and Robert Louis Stevenson.
