Ken Follet is the leader of his genre of writing – I could do without the explicit sex scenes. The first book of his I read was A Column of Fire. Bought it at Heathrow and read it in two days.
I also enjoyed the Spartacus series by Ben Kane, the Cicero Trilogy by Robert Harris, Helen Dunmore’s Stalingrad series (2 books).
Conn Iggulden is erratic for me, some were good, some were flat.

Has anyone read Philippa Gregory or Allison Weir? Every book both these women wrote was gifted to me last Christmas. I received I think more than 25 books in total.
Other historical fiction writers whose books I own but have not read: SJ Parris, Kate Mosse, CJ Sansom and Steven Saylor.

Alejo Carpentier, is a cuban and highly influential latin- american author.
He has several examples in this genre, look up his novels especially.
