Looking for some new fiction

[Sainte]

Armor by John Steakley
The Praxis Series by Walter Jon Williams
The Lost Fleet series by Jack Campbell
The Honor Harrington series by David Weber, at least the first five books or so, after that they get old and stupid.
I also read a cole books by Vernor Vinge several years ago, they were great. I think one was called A Fire Upon the Deep.
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, movie coming out soon too.

After America by John Birmingham

I think I saw this at books a million a few weeks ago, looked interesting. Will have to bend the pages on it.

If you were close I'd loan it (and the rest of the series) to you.

Ahern's books are pretty cool, you can tell a true gun guy wrtoe them.....1980's time frame, but thats what got me into Detonic handguns, and AG Russell sting knives, lol. Cool read for sure

Nerd... I had no idea you were into the A G Russell Sting knives...BTW thanks for stopping by the other day and bringing the youngun...

Maineprepper put out a book "The walls came tumbling down" on youtube that he reads or you can buy the PDF

 

[guns and groceries]

Ditto on the Maineprepper book. And "Going Home" by A. American.
I also have started the "Grid Down" series by Bruce Buckshot and they are a good read.

It took me long enough!!!! Cool place, plus its always good gettign to catch up with you.
You should start a gun book, prepper book, survival fiction shelf in there, could be kinda neat, buy the book for $2, sell them for $5 and keep turning them over and over, like an old school book seller trade in program. I'm enough of a nerd I could keep you stocked up for ages!! First book I ever read to jackson was Eric Haney's Inside Delta Force...............lol...he was probably 3 months at the time and never slept, only took us 2 nights to get thru it

Don't know why it escaped my mind, till just now, but if you haven't yet read it I'd suggest "Alongside Night" by J. Neal Schulman. It's big government/ economic collapse SHTF and just as relevant today as when it was written. It's one of the few books that is a must read for everyone. Mainly because it's SHTF scenario is actually likely to happen. Schulman just wrapped production on the movie version a month or so ago, (starring Kevin Sorbo).

Dunno if I have that one or not, but I do recognize it as having shown up in my suggested reading. Will have to snag it if I haven't already.


edit: After reading the description it seemed familiar. I have read it before, just forgotten the name. I started digging into my digital collection and found it. I pulled it a few years ago as a free PDF from some prepper fiction site, if anyone wants it.

Lights Out and 1 Second after were both good reads.
Unintended Consequences is a must-read by John Ross.

As someone else previously mentioned, anything by Jerry Young. (who has written over 20 vignettes, short stories and books). And btw, Jerry Young has also been a member of INGO for a few years. :P

 

[tetsujin79]

Matt Bracken? I've read the Enemies Foreign and Domestic trilogy, and it was pretty good. More SHTF then prep though.

Here's a link to a short, so you can get an idea of his voice.

The 299 Days series by Glenn Tate is a great read. He is working on book 7 of what will be either a 10 or 11 book series. Its available in paperback or kindle. You can find out more information at 299days.com.

 

[BuddieReigns]

I just started the Remaining series by D.J. Molles (The Remaining: D.J. Molles, Christian Rummel: 9781480564367: Amazon.com: Books ) It's pretty good for a zombie series. I'm on book three and started last week.

 

[Cavman]

Thats a real good series

 

[Clarity]

"Mountain Man", "Safari" and "Hellifax" are good books.

The "Old Man and the Wasteland" is good too.

As mentioned, "Lucifer's Hammer" and "Alas, Babylon" are both good.
