![]() ![]() John Thomas Rourke, a sort of prepper culture Mary Sue, will do what it takes to _survive_, which gets increasingly ludicrous when later books start to involve cryogenics and fighting those goddamned commies into the distant future. It's a solid read, if pessimistic and probably a bit too libertarian tinged to be really enjoyable.įor a totally goofy take on nuclear apocalypse fiction, I can't actually recommend Jerry Ahern's The Survivalist series, but I've ready a bunch of it and enjoyed it as trashy men's adventure fun. Lucifer's Hammer by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle that shows the impact of a huge metorite on the California coast and then the attempts by the characters to survive and, if not rebuild, fortify. ![]() King lingers on the horror of it all and also puts some time into the rebuilding aspects. Yes, it's a lot of post-apocalyptic novel, especially if you read the author's preferred Super Doorstop edition, but I loved having that much time to spend with all of the characters throughout the apocalypse and beyond. ![]()
