The thriller novel contains nonstop action, edge of your
seat suspense, a heroic protagonist, and a villain that threatens the hero, his
world, and civilization. An important
element of the modern day thriller is the ticking time clock that ratchets up
the suspense in the last third of the novel.
Thrillers are what you want when you’re facing that
four-hour plane ride. They’re what you
look for when you’re on the beach, or at the pool, or stuck in the back of your
parents SUV watching miles of pavement fly by on your way to your cousins
house. The thriller novel is the
ultimate form of escapism for the reading public.

I quite agree... Time is of the essence... And all good thrillers should keep you on the edge of your seat, no matter what type of thriller.
