by Larry Correia...also the Grimnoir series and the Dead Six series.

John Ringo's books (the Paladin of Shadows...Ghost, etc. is a bit B & D oriented, but good action, the other series are not so much on the sex stuff...).

Someone on here recommended the 'Joe Ledger' series by Jonathan Maberry (Patient Zero, etc.)..they're quite good also.

Get off my lawn. A zombie novel.


It's the best zombie book I've ever read! Learned about it here, maybe the survival forum.

I think a member wrote it, not sure though. Lots of gun stuff and prepping in it.

Monster Hunter International is currently free for the kindle. If you like action, guns, and B-movie horror, you can't go wrong here.

If you don't like those things, why are you on Arfcom with a Punisher avatar?

fixed.

It's a good series, but it isn't light reading.

If you want something light, and a bit of a page turner, I liked the Strain trilogy by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan.

Yeah, it's the same as the TV show and while it's not literature, it is entertaining and an easy read.

Jason Sheehan "Tales From the Radiation Age" is a fantastic book. Or start reading the "The Dresden Files." There's 15 books in the series, so you won't run out. Taylor Anderson's "Destroyermen" series is fucking fantastic as well. Fantastically developed characters, awesome plot that just gets better and better as the books progress.

But as a single stand alone, "Tales From the Radiation Age" is the one I'd go with. I've gotten copies of it as gifts for friends and every one of them loved it.

The whole Monster Hunter series is awesome as well, as is the Grimnoir series.
(from TFRA)
I hit the pavement hollering and near bit my tongue off. Logue pulled me clear of the line, jammed my hat down tight on my head, un-sucked the goggles from my eyes and handed me my briefcase, which, apparently, he’d carried with him while roping down.

The Captain came down almost on my heels, threw the line and said something into the sleeve of his jacket that didn’t have the snout of his Jesus gun poking out of it. Orders to the Osprey, I assumed. Then he looked at me.

“That was fun, right?” he asked.

“No,” I gasped, bent over a bit, hands on my knees and hoping not to air my paunch right there on my boots. “It was not.”

“Bullshit,” he snapped. “Duncan, you just fell out of a plane and hit the ground living. You seen a dragon’s bones, caught a dawn ride off a whorehouse roof and flew away like a hummingbird. If we hadn’t come to get you, what would you be doing right now? Sleeping? Scratching your balls? It’s adventure time, you ungrateful motherfucker. So tell me, you happy?”
