The Mick Herron Slough House spy thrillers. They're brilliantly written, funny and clever.

If you like fantasy, David Wingrove's Chung Kuo series has 20 books.
If you like historical fiction, Winston Graham's Poldark has 12 books.

The War Lord Chronicles? By Bernard Cornwell who wrote The Last Kingdom.

MyCrumpetIsCold · 07/11/2022 20:02

Hugh Howey’s Silo Trilogy - Wool, Dust, and Shift.

AssignedSlytherinAtBirth · 07/11/2022 20:05

Restoration by Rose Tremain, and it's sequel. Similar to Shardlake but better, IMO.

XAQ · 07/11/2022 20:07

Stuart McBride or Helen Fields.

AelinoftheWildfire · 07/11/2022 20:09

If you like YA then the Throne of Glass series is one of the best imo (hence my username)

devildeepbluesea · 07/11/2022 20:10

I second Galbraith, Cornwall. Also can recommend the Simon Serrailler series.

If you like history Sarum by Edward Rutherford is awesome.

Baboutheocelot · 07/11/2022 20:11

Station 11
Project Hail Mary

DarkAndDusty · 07/11/2022 20:11

Cloud Atlas

BadgerFace · 07/11/2022 20:12

Robin Hobb’s sagas are amazing!! Anything by Brandon Sanderson is also great.

Purpleavocado · 07/11/2022 20:12

Have you read The Expance?

Tatiepot · 07/11/2022 20:14

manda Scott’s Boudicca series

HeadAboveTheParapet · 07/11/2022 20:22

Jeffery weaver - lots of different series in the same universe
The hollow corn series

SharpLily · 07/11/2022 20:31

Shogun by James Clavell or anything by James Michener.

PomBearWithoutHerOFRS · 07/11/2022 20:39

Raymond E. Feist and Janny Wurst's "Midkemia" - start with "Magician" and keep going. They are definitely epic! 😁 fantasy .
"Maia" by Richard Adams ( the Watership Down guy, but definitely not for kids!) is very good too.
The Passage (I think there are three now?) was a good apocalypse read.
The Amtrak Wars series by Patrick Tilley is a far future post apocalypse series I enjoyed.
Guy Gavriel Kaye writes good epic fantasy.

I agree

not the court of sex and smut though
first one was ok, but the later ones were bad
