Another book along the lines of One Second After is Going Home.

Imagine you're driving down the interstate, it's Friday and all you can think about is getting your weekend started. Then to begin the ruination of your much anticipated weekend the grating tone of the Emergency Alert System flashes over the radio, then promptly dies. This is the beginning of a 250 mile odyssey for Morgan Carter. Morgan works on the road and finds himself far from home when his car dies, as well as his Blackberry and every other piece of electronics he has. With no idea what has occurred he reluctantly finds himself on shanks' mare carrying that ridiculous pack that everyone made fun of him for keeping in the car. Morgan has to find his way across the state of Florida, from Tallahassee to the heart of the state in Lake County. Along his way he has to seek out food, water and shelter where he can, not to mention keeping himself from being killed by any number of now scared and desperate people. During his travels he will try and help where he can, but that can turn out to be a costly mistake. We live in a wonderfully modern society where anything we want is a mouse click away. The lights come on with the flip of a switch and even a child can turn on the faucet at the sink and water always comes out. But what if it all went away? Could you face what Morgan faces, could you make the decisions he has to make? Life and sometimes death in the blink of an eye, could you do it?

I read it in a couple of days. It's a pretty good book and I appreciated the digs that he got in on Patriots: A Novel of Survival in the Coming Collapse.

Need to get the house setup and apparently need a hell of a GHB.

Thanks for the Going Home lead. $3.59 from Amazon for the Kindle.

I've read both and they are excellent. OSA gets you thinking in a prepper mindset and The Road makes you think about long term survival knowledge.
Aside from Left Behind (couldn't get into it) any other suggestions on other similar books that are decent?
Patriot Dawn?
299 days?

I recently read The Passage (Justin Cronin) and am on the next book in the trilogy. Yeah, it is not a typical social collapse theme, more of a govt plague turns people into vampire type of monster sort of story, but the majority of the story revolves around the survivors and takes place 100 years after nearly everyone in the US is wiped out. Long book, good read.

I'm going to start up Starvation Ridge. It sounds pretty awesome.
