Recommended SHTF Books?

[SMiTTY]

I searched and didn't find a thread, so thought I'd start one.

Any recommendations for books to read? I'm getting down to 2 books left and will need to be on the hunt for a few new ones.

I first read Lights Out while it was out in PDF form. I recently bought it via Kindle and have read it once again. All of these books I'd recommend.

Here's my list :

Lights Out by David Crawford
One Second After by William R. Forstchen
Deep Winter by Thomas Sherry
Shatter (Deep Winter 2nd book) by Thomas Sherry
Remnant (Deep Winter 3rd book) by Thomas Sherry
Patriots : Surviving the coming collapse by James Wesley Rawles

[JohnTRourke]

The folk of the Fringe
8.4
Enemies Foreign and Domestic (and the other two in the trilogy, Domestic enemies and Foreign Enemies)
WarDay

One of the best, albeit a bit dated.
Lucifer's Hammer

[Wulf202]

Off the top of my head:

ditch medicine
where there is no doctor
where there is no dentist
merick manual
survive! (les stroud)
98.6 degrees (lundin)
Surgical speed shooting (stanford)
Principals of personal defense (cooper)

Some good books here, But if you could add the Author that would help. Some of the titles are generic and many authors come up
thanks

I'm currently listening to Patriots for the second time. I'm also taking notes of the info I found interesting the first time through it and also writing down all the books mentioned. I might miss a few, but, "Oh well..." when the list is done, ill type it up and post it.

Hey SMiTTY

That is a most excellent list. Jut finished OSA and Lights Out in that order. I talked my wife into reading OSA and now she wants more! Have not read the second two in the Deep Winter trilogy, how do they compare to the first?

I'm advised by Amazon that the new novel, Survivors; A Novel of the Coming Collapse by James Wesley Rawles is coming out soon.

Product Description

WHAT IF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT ENDED TOMORROW? The America we are accustomed to is no more. Practically overnight the stock market has plummeted, hyperinflation has crippled commerce, and the fragile chains of supply and high-technology infrastructure have fallen. The power grids are down. Brutal rioting and looting grip every major city. The volatile era known as “the Crunch” has begun, and this new period in our history will leave no one untouched. In this unfamiliar environment, only a handful of individuals are equipped to survive.
Andrew Laine, a resourceful young U.S. Army officer stationed overseas in Afghanistan, wants nothing more than to return home to Bloomfield, New Mexico. With the world in turmoil and all air and sea traffic to America suspended, Laine must rely on his own ingenuity and the help of good Samaritans to reach his family. Andrew will do whatever it takes to make it home to his fiancée, no matter how difficult the circumstances.
Major Ian Doyle is a U.S. Air Force pilot sta-tioned in Arizona with his wife, Blanca. Their young daughter, Linda, is trapped in the North- eastern riots. Three teenage orphans, Shadrach, Reuben, and Matthew Phelps, have no choice but to set out on their own when their orphanage closes at the beginning of the Crunch. Then there is Ignacio Garcia, the ruthless leader of the criminal gang called La Fuerza, who will stop at nothing to amass an army capable of razing the countryside. And over everything looms the threat of a provisional government, determined to take over America and destroy the freedoms upon which it was built. The world of Survivors is a terrifyingly familiar one. Rawles has written a novel so close to the truth, readers will forget it’s fiction. If everything you thought you knew suddenly fell apart, would you survive?
