Dystopian Sci Fi books
These are all books about the end of the world and what happens to any survivors, from things like Natural disasters to Man Made disasters - perhaps we are heading for a combination of both!
I loved this book - it's starts off with someone who is really pleased it is the end of the world, because he's quite stressed and doesn't have to go to work - do you ever feel like that.
The End of the World Running Club by Adrian J. Walker
This is a real page turner, it is about a group of people stuck in a hotel in Switzerland when something happens…. read it to find out!! I read this quite quickly because it's addictive.
The Last by Hanna Jameson
The only place left safe on the world is a small island - or is it safe? - Fab book by a great Author
The Last Murder at the End of the World by Stuart Turton
You won't be able to get enough of this book, and will be so glad to find there are 3 in the series. The trees and plants have taken over…
The Book of Koli by M. R. Carey
This is now an Apple series, which I do really love - but the books are better - and you can just keep on reading without having to wait for a new series! - there are also ‘Silo’ books that are by different authors that are side shoots of this book -...
Silo by Hugh Howey
If you haven't read these, you are missing out - it starts with a secret service agent driving to a town looking for a missing person - but the he has a car crash - he wakes up and then the story really starts …
Pines by Blake Crouch
This is great - a giant stone man appears in Coventry in the UK - then it starts walking - read on for more
The Stone Man by Luke Smitherd
To deal with the over population and lack of resources people are put to sleep for months at a time and woken up just for a short time - whilst someone looks over them - this is a great story - could this happen
Kings of a Dead World by Jamie Mollart
Dystopian books with Dogs!!
Yes at the end of the world we all need a companion, the cats have probably all fended for themselves, so it's just you and the dog.
This is so good! I recommended it to a friend that doesn't like reading, but likes dogs, this actually got them into reading books! It is also great for those who love British football from the 90's! I loved it that the dog wrote some of the chapters...
The Last Dog on Earth by Adrian J. Walker
This is set in the near future and is really well written and moving too. You'll love it.
A Boy and his Dog at the End of the World by C. A. Fletcher
Aliens are here
Some are already here - at least I hope so!
You may have watched the Netflix show, but the book is better and slightly different to the show.
The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu, Ken Liu
Parallel Universe or alternative reality
Some of these could be a parallel universe or an alternate reality
All books by this Author are absolutely brilliant, I've read them all! This one is about parallel universes, and is so exciting!
Infinity Gate by M. R. Carey
Two girls go hiking on Bodmin moor - only one comes back - 4 years later the other returns - where has she been? - you'll find out and a whole new set of worlds too - I found this so uniwue and loved all the twists and turns - it is an easy read.
The Doors of Eden by Adrian Tchaikovsky
This is set in the far future - rather than a parallel one, it starts off by someone being taken to prison.
Cage of Souls by Adrian Tchaikovsky
This is set in our reality (ish!). It starts with an Air France plane landing, only to find that they have been in the air for months (without realising), and another Air France plane had landed at the correct time with all the same people. - What I'...
The Anomaly by Hervé le Tellier, Adriana Hunter
This is another far future one - you think it's set in the past to start with!
The Second Sleep by Robert Harris
What would you do if you could go back in time and change things?
11.22.63 by Stephen King
I had mixed feelings about this book, - I really loved the story, but the Author made all the women in the book stupid and all the males alpha male - so i'm only recommending it for the story and not the Author
Lights Out by Devon C Ford
Zombies
People are cruel to Zombies, they're just hungry poor things.
These Zombies are allowed to go to school, (with a muzzle of course) - Although the synopsis sounds stupid, it's really, really good when you read it.
The Girl With All The Gifts by M. R. Carey
This is about the end of the world, zombie peopel, and someone who survived because he ate alot of bourbon biscuits.
Before and After book by Andrew Shanahan
