I just finished The Dog Stars which was good but didn't go too much into how they got there. Looking for more like One Second After where the story starts just before the big event.

Try "The Survivalist" series by A. American. The first book is Going Home. In my opinion, this is the best series of that genre.

Almost finished with it now. Pretty much what I'm looking for. I would like a little more lead up to the event. Good look at what it would be like to be away from your stuff though.

I'll check out the others in the series. May be more what I was thinking.

The FSU girl sounded hot.

A couple of things.

Answers do come. There isn't much in the lead up to what happened, but in later books it is explained.

It's an unusual series in that I think it keeps getting better and better with each book.

He co-wrote a spin-off called "Charlie's Requiem". It starts off in Orlando at the same time. So it shows how things went down in a larger city instead of being stranded in the sticks.

It's a ride that keeps getting better. Enjoy!

Alas Babylon, by Pat Frank. Post- nuclear war novel that takes place in Florida.

Take the advice or leave it, but Id avoid David Brin’s The Postman. No matter what you thought of Kevin Costner’s movie, its still a thousand times better than the book, which is this weird feminist screed (spoiler alert: civilization ends because the patriarchy ignored feminine wisdom).
