Hey guys, I just got done reading "Phoenix Rising" by William Johnstone, and now I'd like to find some more books with a post apocalyptic, survival type story. I really enjoy the Fallout video games. They are based around a world just after a theoretical global nuclear war. I'm not into any horror or zombie type stuff. Any ideas?

| I haven't read Phoenix Rising yet. But since it's by William Johnstone and you liked it have you read his Ashes series? |

Good list. I noticed you didn't include Systemic Shock - Dean Ing even though you included the other two books of the trilogy, Single Combat and Wild Country. ?Any reason, didn't like it? The list is only what I have on my shelf, with a few left off that I've picked up in the last few months. I only update the list about once a year. |

Those both sound great, trying to find them used online. Best site EVER for used books is www.abebooks.com I've gotten SO many hardcovers there it's not funny, and old, out-of-print books that I have no business actually finding are found with ease. Let me know what you think if/when you do use them. Think of the site like this: all of the used bookstores around the country put their databases into Abebooks, you search, you find any number of copies in varying degrees of use. It rocks. |

I haven't read any of the above, though probably should, but Swan Song is an amazing read. Super detailed, great storytelling, and great character development. Just picked that up in one of my "Border's Closeout Scores" .... have picked it up and put it back 3 times since their liquidation started. When it hit 50% off (meaning $9), I decided it was FO time. I haven't listened to the audio book yet either, which is odd considering how much I drive and how long I've had it. |

I think I've read it about 10 times cover to cover. First time I read it I was about 13 years old. I was spending 6 weeks with my dad over the summer and had to go to work with him every day at the machine shop he worked at. Spent 8 hrs a day reading it and finished in like 3 days, LOL. |
