Apocalyptic fiction Books

[Redstate]

I sure like reading apocalyptic fiction books. I just got done reading Lights Out, by David Crawford. Excellent book about an EMP that wipes out electronics in the US placing people in survival mode. Very hard to put down. What started me in reading this type of book was One Second After, by William R. Forstchen, another EMP apocalyptic fiction that was very difficult to put down.

Anyone else like this type of fiction? Do you have any recommendations for other similar apocalyptic fiction?

Another good read is Unintended Consequences by John Ross.

I'm more into books like, How to Cure Your Slice, The Art and Science of Walleye fishing, or How to Shoot for Less. I've had enough apocalyptic events in my life.

I read One Second After, don't think I read the others. It was definitely eye opening and full of food for thought.

Yes, they are full of food for thought, Bawanna.

I'm reading "The Perseid Collapse" series and "The adventures of John Harris" series. I've read a bunch others but can't remember titles right now.

One Second After was a really good book, a little hard sometimes but very good.....If you like this kind of thing check out "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy who also wrote "No Country for Old Men"....The Road is about what the world is like after an apocalyptic disaster for a father and his son walking the road trying to make it to the coast where they hope life still exists....Great scary read...

The grand daddy of them all. Orwell's "1984". Different kind of apocalypse but scary reading. It's coming true a little late but it's here. Big Brother is on the scene.

This one is more techno-dystopian than Apocolyptic, but Neuromancer by William Gibson gave rise to the "cyberpunk" genre and provides some very chilling vision into what a society full of gene splicing, Borg-like body augmentation and neural-level internet connectivity would (will?) look like.
