Just wondering if anyone else had read any of this series? so far Ive read The Culled by simon spurrier which was IMO pretty darn tootin, which involves a bad ass jason Bourne type English fellow  travelling to America in a post apocalyptic world and killing new and interesting people whilst searching for "something".Ive also read arrow head which basically trys to make a post apocalyptic Robin hood and manages to suck giant elephant balls and ruin a pretty interesting idea (imo). The back ground to both is that everyone on earth( with a few notable exceptions) without blood type O dies of plague and the survivors either try to restart society orstart killing each other. Both are worth a look if nothing more than for a bit of inspiration and there are a few more in the series but I havent read them yet. |

I had heard of this, but have not read them. Is it a Sci-Fi or Action series with a little bit or crazy stuff in it for flare?  LAF |

Not so much sci-fi as it set now. Some of them are more stupididy action novels with less time spent on background ( Arrowhead, how the Feck does a plod with a bow and arrow take out a tank and a load of special forces more or less single handed?) Where as the Culled goes into a lot more detail with some brilliant set peices and gangs/ groups such as the Church ( who collect children for some unknown purpose), the thin Blues ( ex policemen trying to keep the peace) Collectors ( crazy cannibal bikers who wear silver puffer jackets) and lots and lots of scavs. |

Hmm... Sounds a bit like A CLOCK WORK ORANGE or THE WARRIORS. But modern like... LAF |

I've seen them on amazon.....I held back on picking some of them up due to every book seeming to have a different author. http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_0_12?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=afterblight+chronicles&sprefix=afterblight+ Edited by Earl of the North, Nov 1 2009, 05:38 PM.

It does seem they are meant to be different series of books (the hooded man has a sequel) set in the same background rather than one series as I first thought......so maybe I should give some of them a go. |
