Vampire Earth started out real well, I lost interest around book #4 though. Any reason to pick it back up?
Also - if no one else has suggested it you could try all of the novels of "The Change" by SM Stirling. All are available as ebooks too =) Dies the Fire is a great intro. to the "oh snap now what" mentality. I'm currently plugging through "The Scourge of God" and its interesting to see the transition from "The Change" to "The Change" plus 20. Another good series to try is "Mistborn" which is sort of PA in a fantasy world (what if evil wins) and the current "Genesis of Shannara" trilogy that Terry Brooks just completed. (Armageddon's Children / The Elves of Cinta / The Gypsy Morph ) |

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood is also a brilliant P-A novel. It is about a woman name Offred, one of the few fertile women in a now descimated and heavily fundamental christian America.

Actually CNN at the moment is starting to sound increasingly like a post apocalyptic novel in progress.

I keep thinking of good novels to reccommend in this genre, or in a genre extremely close to it. I must admit that I have something of an obsessesion with post-apocalyptic and dystopian literature.
Anyway, a good author to try is Greg Bear. Blood Music is a.m.a.z.i.n.g. It's all about a viral change to the entire planet, and although it's now 23 years old, it is still simply fantastic. I didn't even realise it was as old as I am until I checked the publication date. I also really enjoyed the Darwin series; Darwin's Radio and Darwin's Children. It is not so much P-A or dystopian, they are somewhat similar, and well worth the read. Quote:

Check out the Change Series by S.M. Sterling
I just finished book 1: The Sunrise Lands It's a good twist with demise of high-technology and reversion to middle ages tech |

Actually, Dies The Fire is the first book in that series. The Sunrise Lands is 4th book in the series and begins the tie-in to an even earlier series that started with Island In The Sea Of Time.
