There’s a whole world of books filled with plenty of action and adventure just waiting to be discovered. Here are three action and adventure novels that are well worth the read and sure to get your blood pumping.
The Once and Future King by T. H. White. Based upon Le Morte d'Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory, White takes many liberties with the classic story of Camelot and adds a certain amount of humour to it as he re-imagines the tale to better reflect the post WWII era in which it was written. The usual cast of characters are still there, however, from Merlyn to young Arthur, not to mention Queen Guinevere and Lancelot.
The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. The perfect combination of history and folklore, Kostove combines the fictional Dracula and the very real Vlad the Impaler for her novel. The Historian follows a sixteen year old girl as the discovery of ominous letters found in an ancient book belonging to her father leads her on an unexpected adventure filled with secrets and mystery related to her father, her mother, and an evil hidden in the depths of history.
The Map of Salt and Stars by Jennifer Zeynab Joukhadar. A tale of duality, telling the story of a modern-day Syrian refugee seeking safety and a medieval adventurer apprenticed to a legendary mapmaker, expertly woven together in Joukhadar’s debut novel.
