I agree totally with the religion point and kit list. Will try your recomended book "There Falls No Shadow"
There is no reason to buy a Kindle just to read Kindle eBooks. There are Kindle readers for Android and Windows PCs and probably something for iPhones, Macs and the like too. I use a Kindle reader on my Android phone with no problem.
Cheers!

Have you read the Alfred series by Bernard Cornwell? I'd go for them next if not - startlingly good - adventure and battles!
Chelsea Quinn Yarbro "False dawn"
Also, if you can struggle through the sheer length of it (and the massive weight of the book), "Ash" by Mary Gentle is a fantastic read that falls into the category, although for most of the book it doesn't feel like it, being more a historical epic (but gentle is a historian anyway, and her medieval realism is superb). In fact, Many of Mary Gentle's works have an End of the World flavour - the "Orthe" dualology "Golden Witchbreed" and "Ancient Light", and the later Valentine White Crow books, especially "Left to his own devices". Gentle is one of my favourite writers.
For a different take, look at books by Sheri S. Tepper. Often written from a highly feminist/conservationist angle, but very well done. You might try "Beauty", "The gate to women's country" (uncomfortable reading for a man), and "Gibbon's Decline and Fall".
Finally, Elizabeth Hand "Winterlong" and the sequel, "Aestival tide" are like nothing else you will ever have read, but are post apocalyptic. Not an easy read, but very rewarding.

I saw a book at a mate's house the other day titled Afterlight by Alex Scarrow and I just ran a search through my extensive Kindle library and found I have 4 books by this author, including Last Light which is the prequel to the Afterlight book.
Anyone read these books, if so, are they any good? They look like an interesting read based on the blurb.

Last Light is a very good book indeed - rather dark and probably quite believable. Afterlight is okay but not as good. If you liked "One Second After", these are good and UK based.
Do try "There Falls No Shadow" as well if you enjoy "Last Light"

I remember studying 'Z for Zachariah' in English class all those years ago. For me it was a good read as far as fiction books go.
Thanks for the feedback Red. I ran a search for One Second After but it's not in my library. I'll find it one day, I have more Kindle files on my other PC, maybe it's on there.
I ran a google search for that and I remember a sci-fi mine series in the 80's based in a Welsh valley that had escaped fallout. It looks like this is what the TV programme was based on.
