Editor’s Recommended Action Books

Last week, we got a chance to chat with our editor, an expert in action-adventure, to share their recommendation for action books. And here we are, presenting you with the best action books of all time, editor’s pick!

The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas

Can a list of the best action books of all time be complete without mentioning this masterpiece of a book by Alexandre Dumas? I think not.

Released in 1844 by this French author, this book is always a top choice for every action and adventure lover. With multiple heroes and top-notch drama, this book is sure to keep you hooked until the very last page.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

The next on our list is The Hunger Games. The youngest generation today knows about this American dystopian action as a film. While the film is executed with perfection, Suzanne Collins's writing takes the story to another level

A fight to the death on live TV where younglings between the ages of twelve and eighteen are forced to go—the story is out-of-this-world, offering readers an experience that’ll keep them at the edge of their seats.

The Maze Runner by James Dashner

Usually known for Dylan O’Brien, The Maze Runner is among the favorite of even the young adults today. Action-packed and filled with events that will catch the reader by surprise, the book is surely a step above the film. Yes, of course, we love Dylan as Thomas, but immersing yourself into this read will let you experiece that world in unimaginable details.

Each of the five books offers the readers a captivating plot and a powerful buildup, enough to keep them turning pages!

 

Divergent by Veronica Roth

Ever visited Chicago? Yes? What about a dystopian Chicago? I bet not. Prepare to experience Chicago like never before in Divergent by Veronica Roth. Most people know Divergent for its film series. But all of you who are not reading the book are definitely missing out.

Difficult choices, struggles, and a world completely different than what we know, you’ll surely enjoy every bit of the read.
