If you love his works, let me recomend these fine writers (in no particular order): John Jakes (Kent Family Saga, etc -- a personal favorite) http://www.johnjakes.com/ James Cavell (Shogun, King Rat,etc) Bernard Cornwell (The Sharpe series, the Warlord Chronicles).

I've read everything I'm recommending to you, so you can be confident it comes from someone who appreciates Michener, and people like him, as much as you.
. . .
Watt was one of the foremost non-Muslim interpreters of Islam in the West; he was an enormously powerful scholar in the field of Islamic studies.
