In contemporary literature, I adore Jonathan Evison. He has such a talent for crafting vast, panoramic scenes (I think he writes like a current James Fennimore Cooper, whom I also love, especially his sea stories).

Straightforward, but often elegant, with an economy of words even in his longer books.
