Reddit reviews One Year After: A John Matherson Novel

I fail to see anything wrong with this. We should be prepared for such scenarios. Not only at that level, but as citizens we need to be ready to confront disasters of all kinds. Ask yourself how many of your neighbors would fare well after not having electricity for 2 months. How will trucks deliver food to supermarkets without fuel pumps? How will sewage get dealt with? Can you hunt well enough to support your family?

You might be interested in Pierce Brown's Red Rising series if you haven't tried it already. I felt it started slow, and had more of a YA feel than I would normally go for, but it shifted gears and became interesting. The second book, Golden Son is actually better than the first, and I'd say it's one of the top 3 SF of last year.

William Forstchen finally came out with One Year After, the sequel to his influential post-apoc One Second After.

Michael J. Sullivan's The Age of Myth is the first book in an enjoyable new series. It's set in the same world as his Riyria series, but in an earlier age.

Too Like the Lightning by Ada Palmer is a rich SF, dense with ideas. It's cultural immersion SF, so it takes a couple of chapters to really understand what's going on, but then you're off to the races. A shoe-in for the awards shortlists.

On the lighter side, David Wong's Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits is very enjoyable.
