Hmm...
Some random recommendations of books I liked/loved:
- Red Storm Rising. Probably my favourite novel of Tom Clancy, along with The Hunt for Red October. This one doesn't feature Jack Ryan though and it's based on a hypothetical war with the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
- I don't know if you're familiar with the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. The entire series is comprised of, roughly, 40 books, but I think all of them are self-contained. Some of my personal favourites are Small Gods, Going Postal, and Unseen Academicals. I haven't read them all myself yet.
- Anything by Isaac Asimov. His Robot Series, one of my favourites as I mentioned above, follows the partnetship of a detective Elijah Bayley and android R. Daneel Olivaw. It's comprised of four books (The Caves of Steel, The Naked Sun, The Robots of Dawn, Robots and Empire) though they're all self-contained. The Foundation series is also pretty good too, my favourite being Prelude to Foundation (also self-contained). The Robot Series, together with the Empire Series, lay the groundwork for the Foundation Series. All the stories are self-contained until we get to the Foundation Series, starting from Foundation and Empire onwards.
- A couple of high fantasy works from Greg Curtis: Maverick and The Arcanist. If you're feeling impatient, I suggest starting with the latter.
Check out the book descriptions and reviews to see which, if any, you'd be more into.
