The Ashes series. If you're going to mention Ahern and Axler then, hey, why not? I managed to get almost halfway through the first Ashes book before giving up but if you like the Survivalist series it could be your cup of tea. I'm neutral on Deathlands. I read the first book in that series but never felt the urge to read any more. I didn't like the sudden appearance of laser rifles and plasma grenades in amongst the "conventional" hardware.
Years ago,in the late '90's, I used to work in a used book store. We could never keep the Johnstone books in stock....there was always a waiting list for his "Ashes" books......Just like when the Stephen King serial "The Green Mile" came out. Remember? One thin little book at a time? A perk of working there meant I had first crack....big deal, read the thing in one evening and it was back in the store the next day.......LOL

A Canticle for Liebowitz is now available as an ebook from Amazon. This is really classic post-apocalyptic stuff.

fantastic NEW post-apoc book I found on iBooks... "Eden" by Matthew Plourde

wow, what a surprise. I'm a big fan of post-apoc, but some of them miss the mark... Eden was right up my alley!

I see it's also on Amazon:

I recently read a few that I think fit into this category-- "The Summoning Fire" by David Michael (MR member) and "Flaming Dove" by Daniel Arenson.

Of course, there is also the Hunger Games trilogy, which would fit as well.

You could try Jerry Ahern's Survivalist series. But it's quite a pain to have a complete set.
