Keep in mind that a few of these titles aren't exactly post-apocalyptic (meaning that a major event hasn't wiped out most of the planet or humankind), but they do follow the theme to a degree. For example, John Brunner's "The Sheep Look Up" tells the story of an overly-polluted Earth 
and its effects on mankind. 

Admittingly, I haven't read all of these, but I do recommend Walter Smith's "A Canticle for Leibowitz" and Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" if you haven't dove into the genre before. 

More to come!....once I find them. If you find anything from John Joseph Adams' list (link below) and I don't have it here, email it to gerardofutah@gmail.com. Include what name you wish to be thanked by.

FAQ:

Q: So, what do I need to start reading? 

A: The eBooks are in different formats, so you may need a couple of programs. Foxit Reader is great for PDFs and your web browser of choice can read the *.html, *.rtf, and *.txt files. 

Q: Some of these aren't formatted too well. 

A: What do you want for free? Go buy the actual book.

Comments

You're missing the 'Autumn' series, which is a great zombie apocalypse series of novels. The first one is being made into a movie right now or may even be out already.
I'm trying to avoid anything zombie related. Although I haven't looked into it, I imagine there is enough material out there for a collection, though.
Thank you so much for this collection! I really loved that the zip was so small, yet so complete.
Wow... great collection.
Very nice! Huge fan, have tracked down lots of these, but haven't been able to get my hands on most of them!

THANK YOU!
Have you ever seen the Ashes series by William Johnstone and thought of uploading it?
myrrdrin:

I looked for the complete Ashes series some time ago and came up with very little. I just did a search on another site and came up with books 1 - 33. From what it looks like, this series would fit perfectly in with the collection. Great suggestion!

If anyone else has any suggestions, please post them!
Awesome! Now I have incentive to get an ebook reader!
(PS Thanks for uploading :D:D)
Gerard, you sir are the man. This is a great collection of books. Stirling has a new series coming out that is in a later era of The Change Series. If you manage to get ahold of that, will you post it as well?
RavenVanya,

I imagine that I would, but I'm not looking for additional books as heavily as I used to. I'll probably post one more update and call it a day. What is here should keep everyone busy for a while, though. :)
great upload!
You should put in the Autumn series, they're good.
Otherwise, good torrent, tnx.
I would say The Penultimate Truth would be a better one from Phil Dick - it's one of my favourites and has a cheeky kind of humour to it...

great collection, tho!
thanks for the upload .. culdn't find City of Ember anywhere else ...
So I had a horrible crash... thanks 7 and thank you Bill Gates. Went back to Ubuntu. Unfortunately I only lost a few things, this collection being one of them.

So, thanks for the additions GerardOfUtah. Still one of the best Ups I've seen in a long time. You have some books on here that can't be found anywhere else!

Just one more thing... I know I've already mentioned it and you probably won't be adding anything else to this Up which is fine but Stirling did add another trilogy to the Change Series. If you come across it it would make a great addition to this nearly perfect torrent.
Great collection, thanks!
Great up, I read through some of these a year ago, nice to have when you most to a new country and don't have internet!

They made 'The Road', I watched it and the whole time thought something was very familiar, then I knew what would happen next, and every scene was just as it played out in my head.

Except in my head there was more detail, and it played out better, specifically the last scene at that boat.

Book's better.

Great post though keep it up.

http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/Overview_Timeline_%281983:_Doomsday%29
That's a great site, but that one is my favorite timeline, it's very well written, just navigate around it's wiki, and somewhere is a page with the play by play. Also read about the individual links, their all well done.
dude wtf........i sit here happy as hell thinkin i can add all these to my collection of ebooks on adobe editions. you did say "ebooks" all i got in the torrent was like 1000 links to sites where i can read it thats not wat you put in the desciption not cool at all man
Thanks for the torrent! Some suggestions:
Ill Wind by Kevin J. Anderson & Doug Beason (I've been looking for this book for ages!)
The Swarm by Frank Schätzing
Ausgebrannt (in german) by Andreas Eschbach (English translation maybe)?

I'm interetesed in post-peak-oil kind of books. Any good book of this kind in the torrent?
thanks for the d/l will seed 500mb before i shut her down thanks alot...
You are my new god.Great work!!!!!!
You should really clarify that most of the files in here are simply links to a website with nothing but text.
Wow, this torrent is still going. I sorta forgot about it.

For those complaining that you are getting a bunch of link in the torrent, I don't know what to tell you. I doubt 25 (as of this posting) people would be seeding a torrent full of crap. Get your computer checked out, I guess.

I don't have a decent internet connection to update this torrent right now, but that may change in the future.
Great wrk man.. Thanks
THANKS!!!!
anyone saying they got links i used calibre to convert them to epub and it was ok
