Hi all, it may have been asked before, apologies. Can anyone give me literature suggestions for UK based prepping/eotwawki novels please. I would rather more realistic story lines- not zombie/aliens etc. My imagination may stretch to EMP though.

Snow by Ryan Clifford (four books - they tail off rather a lot, but the first two are pretty good).
UK Dark 1 2 and 3.
All the John Wyndham books - Day of the Triffids, The Kraken Wakes, etc. Oldies, but goodies.

Maybe...... "The Knowledge. How to rebuild our world after an apocalypse" Lewis Dartnell
An interesting and [practical?] read.
Just about to start John Lancaster's "The Wall"
Will let you know next week.

Pretty sure this fellah is full of stories of assorted woe.
I'll not spoil the ending.

Thanks for that suggestion. I just read the blurb, and it sounds just what I am after.

Fair point.
Plenty scope for a sequel though and if you get in first.... I hear there's money to be made.
