Adventure books
Books that keep moving: journeys, battles, escapes and new horizons around every corner. Readers who want momentum and a sense of discovery will find epic fantasy like The Lord of the Rings and The Name of the Wind, the interplanetary wars of Pierce Brown's Red Rising saga, and Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove, a Western cattle drive told on a grand scale. Pick one and settle in for the ride.
