Good Pulp / Adventure Novels for Gamers


Books


Building off of my Good Sci-Fi for Gamers thread, what books/series can the Paizo fans offer? Trying to browse through the bookstores or Amazon the closest I can seem to get are books categorized as thrillers. Some scratch the itch, others just don't cut it.

Here's what I'm looking for:
Adventure stories set in either the pulp era (1920s-1940s) or modern day.
Adventures of exploration, mystery, etc. with ACTION. Something that'll keep me turning pages and reading into the wee hours.

Sources of inspiration:
Indiana Jones movies (Duh!)
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune video game (closest Indiana Jones style plot set in modern-day I can find)
Doc Savage
Tomb Raider/Laura Croft (I'm reaching a bit here, I think, as she's much more over-the-top)

If it's not too much trouble, please explain WHY you think it makes for good-gamer adventure. Thanks!


Adventure! edited by John Richard Stephens looks interesting; it's a mix of fiction and non-fiction.


It certainly does look interesting. Thanks!

Have you seen the new (reprinted) Doc Savage books? I usually see them in the graphic novel section at Barnes and Noble. Bigger format. They look cool.
Have you see all the PLanet Stories books already?
