I'm going to throw in Angels and Demons by Dan Brown (author of The Da Vinci Code). I've also greatly enjoyed reading Ted Bell's series of books about Alex Hawke, a kind of modern day pirate. They take place in several different places; England, America, The Bahamas, some island whose name I can't remember; but the locations are nothing more than landing pads for the story. It's not at all like The Historian where the location is more of a character.
I'm a little surprised that you would read The Historian. I read back at the very beginning of winter (I remember that because the first snow fell while I was reading), and I thought of you because it was so rich in history and location... Actually, I thought of you when I bought it because the book jacket (for whatever reason) made me think of you. But I didn't think it would be your style. Have you read it yet? If so, did you enjoy it?
