I think the "Going Home" series by A. American is good. Its from a prepper's viewpoint after an EMP attack, but I found it entertaining. https://www.goodreads.com/series/107392

I read the first 3 or 4 of those. The rest are on my list but between moving and finding other books I have't finished them yet. Another series I liked was the Ashes series by William Johnstone

I just finished reading "The Dog Stars" by Peter Heller. I'm sorry but I did not care for it. The writing was too artsy and choppy for me. I felt like I was reading a novel for a school book report....one in which I was going to be tested on. The writing was just not the style I like to read for entertainment.
Okay. We had it as an audiobook and it wasn’t hard to follow.
I’m glad to have found this thread again, since I just gained access to a top-notch library system. I will be looking up all of your recommendations.
A classic from 1951, Day of the Triffids by Wyndham.
More recently, Sea of Rust by Cargill. An interesting twist on post apocalyptic dystopian future.
Mentioned earlier in the thread, but worth mentioning again because it is superb, is A Canticle for Leibowitz.
SM Stirling does some ok books. His Island in the Sea of Time trilogy is not bad. He has a spin-off series starting with Dies the Fire which is ok for the first book or two, but then simply becomes tediously cheesy.

SPOILER ALERT!
I just read the first novel, and I thought it was okay although overly "macho" and way too much detail given about guns and survival equipment.
However, one thing that has always puzzled me about the idea of the U.S. government wanting to get rid of those citizens who prefer to be self-supporting, and instead have only a totally government-dependent populace is -- WHY? Do some people truly think that the so-called "elite" have a plan in place to make millions of people their serfs/slaves? Although the books didn't actually come out and say this, it was very strongly implied.
DH and I both love books that deal with what happens after TEOTWAWKI.
Books we liked:
Alas Babylon
Earth Abides
One Second After
Please suggest works we might not have read. Thanks!
