After killing thousands of people in India in just a few months, the disease begins to spread much farther, quickly sweeping across the world and eventually settling in the same village where Neil resides. Soon, a devastating illness, the Calcutta Plague, begins making the headlines.
He is sent to live in a small village with his grandparents, whom he loves but doesn’t really know. Neil’s world is shattered when he and his family are involved in a horrible car accident that leaves him an orphan. This is DAMNATION ALLEY…Įmpty World by John Christopher – When Neil survives a deadly plague and plunges into solitude, he must question everything in this gripping adventure from critically acclaimed Tripods author John Christopher. But then, this is no normal part of America, you see. And don’t mistake this mission of mercy for any kind of normal road trip – not when there are radioactive storms, hordes of carnivorous beasts, and giant, mutated scorpions to be found along every deadly mile between Los Angeles and the East Coast. The chance of a full pardon does wonders for getting his attention. Facing life in prison for his various crimes, he’s given a choice rot away his remaining years in a tiny jail cell, or drive cross-country and deliver a case of antiserum to the plague-ridden people of Boston, Massachusetts…if anyone is still alive there to receive it, that is. You’d also never mistake Hell Tanner for a humanitarian. He’s also expendable – at least in the eyes of the Secretary of Traffic for the Nation of California. Now, in alphabetical order, we present our… Complete List of Post-Apocalyptic Books Numericalĭamnation Alley by Roger Zelazny – Hell Tanner isn’t the sort of guy you’d mistake for a hero: he’s a fast-driving car thief, a smuggler, and a stone-cold killer. More than even that, these post-apocalyptic books are a great way to introduce non-believers that prepping for the wasteland is not only necessary, but fun. Reading is good for your brain, your intelligence, and your creativity.
While that might be true in some cases, the benefit of just the pleasure of reading. Some preppers argue that you can learn lessons from reading post-apocalyptic, prepper, or dystopian fiction. If I listed every book available, the list would get too diluted with garbage. If it’s a self-published book, I need to know it’s good, because I’ve seen plenty of self-published crap (being blunt). If you know of other quality post-apocalyptic books not listed here, add them to the comments and I’ll review them for inclusion. So, I am starting with a modest list of over 100 books that fit the apocalyptic, post-apocalyptic, prepper, and dystopian genres. But like our complete list of of post-apocalyptic movies, I see the list as a work in progress, where new books are added over time. I know this is not a complete list (and never will be), because new books are published every day.
