Shortly after the new year, my family will be going to Hawaii for a couple weeks. I was thinking I needed to get some books to take with me and then remembered that I should probably get something for DH (he is so hard to Christmas-shop for, so this will help there, too!)

So, I'm looking for recommendations. He loved the Game of Thrones trilogy, but when I try to look for similar books, none of them really seem his type. He's not opposed to magical or fantastical elements, but I don't think he really likes "Fantasy" books in general (if that makes any sense--he generally reads more crime or thriller books than fantasy.) I also never read GoT, so I don't really know what would be similar. I think he liked the pseudo-historical aspect better than he liked the fantasy aspect.

Anyway, if after all that rambling, you have a suggestion, I'd love to hear it!
