Action fiction is a literary genre that focuses on stories that involve high-stakes, high-energy, and fast-paced events.

This kind of story utilizes suspense, the tension that is built up when the reader wishes to know how the conflict between the protagonist and antagonist is going to be resolved or what the solution to the puzzle of a thriller is.[1]
