There is a new release from John S. Wilson out. It is in the same world as his earlier novel Joshua, but is not directly related to that story.
America - the near future - the United States has experienced a complete economic and social collapse, clean water and abundant food, relics of a dying age. Small groups of survivors struggle to stay alive in a world rampant with starvation, disease, and violence. "Travelers" live amongst them, savage gangs that roam the countryside, always searching for fresh prey.
Joshua was a mix of Solar Flare meets the Road. This one sounds a little different: at least the little bit of the teaser I read looks like it is survival from the bad guys point of view. I liked Joshua, so I am interested in this one.

It sounds good but The Road put me off books like this.
I've never understood how books of this nature are shunned by some. They are a direct reflection of a very probable future, giving great insight to human nature. Reading them can only enhance ones chances of survival in the times ahead.
Many of those same individuals will spend a life time re-reading the Bible many times. Yet in reality it is chock full of the same type material. Their logic evades me...
Francis: What books like it have you read previous to The Road?
Spud: The bibilical endtimes are very different than a "survivalist" setting. The bible has a lot of "collapse" material because it is a relatively common phenomina.
