NONFICTION

General Self-Sufficiency and Survival

Individual Preparedness and Response to Chemical, Radiological, Nuclear, and Biological Terrorist Attacks: The Reference Guide

Doomsday Diary
See its extensive list of topics. There is a lot of decent content in here. The formatting style is odd, each sentence is its own paragraph, almost like a collection of proverbs, which I find a bit annoying, but am reading anyway because of the content. One subject here that I haven’t seen addressed in my 8 months on survival websites is international travel and relocation (not that it isn't anywhere, but I haven't seen it.)

The Last Stand on Earth
”What if government pushed too far? What if peaceful freedom loving people decided that the future of their country was up to each one of them individually? What if one city, one county, one state, decided to make the federal government follow the constitution as it was written ? This book explores those questions. It is a combination of historical fact with projections into a possible dangerous but hopeful future.”

The Testimony of Roger Craig
”Roger Craig was a man who saw things he wasn't meant to see on 22 November 1963. This graphic novella provides his own testimony in his own words, together with the vicious defamation of his character certain sources poured out upon him. In addition, a vast array of other illustrations, photo cutups, diagrams and notes are provided. Included is the complete corrected and annotated but otherwise unaltered text of When They Kill A President together with live links to some of the most exotic- and possibly crucially important- online resources relating to the conspiratorial weirdo maniacs who conspired against and murdered JFK!”

Against Democracy and Equality: The European New Right

The Great Space Race
”Did you know that the US Government intentionally prevented Wernher von Braun from launching a satellite a year before Sputnik? Or that one of his engineers had a satellite hidden in the trunk of his car, just waiting for an opportunity? That mousetrap springs were used in the Vanguard rocket to save costs? Approx 350 pages, including color photos and diagrams plus links to more than 10 hours of videos on a supporting website formatted for tablet and phone screens, ...  The narrative follows missile development and the politics of the emerging space sciences in the USA and the Soviet Union from 1945 through to the moon landings and beyond.”

The Complete Bad Angler
The collected Bad Angler columns as they appeared, more or less, in The Angling Times, along with one or two that didn't make the cut. “Welcome to the North-East of England, where the rain stings, the wind howls and the snow falls deep. There aren’t many fish either. But through the mud, cold, tackle shop arguments and occasional domestic disputes over the spiralling cost of Daddy’s latest venture, the fun of it all still shines through. The book will appeal to Britain’s millions of anglers, good and bad, and heroic failures everywhere.”

Alien in the Delta
”What is initially the story of a boy’s escape from the Delta ultimately becomes the celebration of overcoming life’s adversities.

Home is where the Sunsets Full-time RV'ing with Paul and Diane

Ernest Briggs & The Great War : Part One : "Chance's Strange Arithmetic"

Masshole to Mainah-Part Un
``whimsical adventures of moving from busy Southeastern Massachusetts to the wilderness of Maine with her daughters. There is some sad and heart wrenching blogs mixed in just for the variety that her life seems to be. The blogs are of how a suburban Mom learned how to be a farmer in the mountains and how she began to make her dream of becoming a novelist a reality. In this collection of blogs are her struggles, interpretations of the cultural differences she moved to and how she learned to overcome obstacles that seemed to have constantly been thrown in her path.

From Flatlandah to Sheep Fahmah Momma-Part Un
AND
From Flatlandah to Sheep Fahmah Momma-Part Deux (From Flatlandah to Mainah)
Similar to the Masshole and Mainuh book above. Not sure how they are different.

Sunrise Sunset: The Chronicles of Comrade Binstock
``story of Samuel Binstock, a Ukrainian Jew who was conscripted into the Soviet Army during World II. His father, mother, and brother were left behind in their small Ukrainian town which was subsequently overrun by occupying German forces. Binstock, a talented musician, was able to transfer from the infantry to an Army band. Some of his adventures while a band member verged on the comical, even against a background of bloody combat and deprivation.

The following is a story in several parts. Not quite all the parts are free today. “A true story of a young woman’s journey in Eastern Europe, through holocaust horror and life after.

------------------------------------
FICTION

Nature Survival, War, and other Hardship

Mary Jerod's Daughters
”Mary Jerod, trusting God and her own hard work, brings her daughters up in dust bowl Oklahoma during the dirty thirties on a drought-stricken eighty acres in such a fashion that in the long away future they will be able to say, "Those were the best years of our lives." But Mary, the grownup who bears all the responsibility, is sometimes terrified as crops fail, she gets sick, and her girls don't always make the best choices. Sometimes she doesn't understand how God can let the terrible dry years roll on and on, but she does know that he has promised to be with her through the hard times.”

Wild African Adventure
”Wild African Adventure is a story of four teenagers from different countries who have been selected to spend time with game rangers in an African game reserve. They experience the excitement of the bush in a unique and life-changing way. They face serious challenges, not only from the natural environment, but also from the people they encounter along the way. Their few days on an educational trip turns out to be the experience of a lifetime as they come face to face with wild animals, drug dealers and international poachers.”

Politics, Terrorism, and Intrigue/Conspiracy

Trade-off
Hunter faces the deadliest test of his career – how to catch a killer while staying one step ahead of the most powerful forces on earth, and staying alive himself. In this enthralling thriller, part conspiracy, part manhunt, and part sci-fi, Tom Kasey has woven a gripping story that takes the reader right into the innermost workings of government – and reveals the dark secrets that lurk within.``

The Chosen One - The Mossad in Iran
Middle East nuclear weapons/threat of war thriller. “Soon he finds himself in possession of a secret that threatens the stability of the world, and becomes the leader of a conspiracy to change everything…a science-fiction military techno-thriller in the tradition of Crichton, Koontz and Heppner.”Review says: “'apocalypse' twist, though in more end of the world as we know it rather than end of the world.”

The Painted Man
”In the early days of the Second Gulf War, two Iraqi soldiers escape an assault on an underground bunker north of Baghdad. Their mission: transmit the final locations of all WMD stockpiles hidden by the Iraqi Army to foreign terrorists. When CIA and Army Intelligence agents capture the suspects, a far more intricate plot, formed by a ruthless Iraqi General, unravels. But, misinformation and infighting between rival Intelligence agents plague the hunt for the Painted Man, the ultimate target of their investigation. If they fail the mission, terrorists will control a frightening arsenal of weapons of mass destruction.”

Game Changer
”so begins a deadly game of cat and mouse against the most ruthless terrorists in the world. One man's reputation will be decided, and a Presidency will be put to the test as the world stands on the brink of global chaos. “

An Orphan's Curse (The Orphan Portfolio: 25% of Royalties Donated to Wounded Veterans and their Families)
“After decimating America’s carbon-based energy production capacity, Iran and its proxy, Hezbollah, lunge at America’s throat to threaten the western hemisphere with nuclear destruction. From forward operating bases in the jungles of South America, Venezuela and Panama, The Orphan, Hezbollah’s most brutal and diabolical terrorist, assembles and organizes for the catastrophic asymmetric campaign which will bring America and her allies to their knees.”

Armageddon-Part One
”On New Year's Eve, under cover of a terrible storm, a Soviet nuclear submarine attempts to land men and equipment on a poverty-stricken, British-held Caribbean island. The men and equipment are part of Fidel Castro's aid program to the Communist guerillas operating in the jungle carpeted mountains. The landing is detected by the British forces on the island, resulting in a tense duel of wits between the British and Soviet commanders...a duel which at any moment could result in Armageddon: 1973...the end of all creation.”

Collapse, Post-Apocalypse, Speculative Futures

2060: On The Run (A Future Noir Thriller)
”In the overcrowded, noisy and sweltering streets of New York, in the year 2060, paranoia, fear and poverty are everywhere. An energy crisis paved the way for a new political party, which promised to solve the country’s problem. However, this administration quickly began enforcing dictatorial legislation that left anyone who opposed the government outcast from society; unable to get a job, cut off from the power and forced to survive on the streets. Unsurprisingly, this led to riots and the, eventual, emergence of underground rebel factions.”

Science Says
”Paralegal Darrian Parsons is trapped in the beginning of a new world order. Accused of murder and turned into a spy, he must try to discover the motives of those who brought on the Apocalypse. Will he be able to save an unexpected romance? Will he be able to save himself? Can he save the world? The current tensions between Israel and Iraq are real. Science Says is fiction, but inching closer to truth every day.”

Beyond 2012: Watch Where You're Going
"In December 2012, the world learns the horrifying unimaginable: a reactor from a large hadron collider in Geneva, Switzerland has malfunctioned. Despite their frantic efforts, scientists are unable to control the damage and as a result, a black hole forms and it will begin to consume the earth..."

Impact Point: Action-Adventure Thriller
”on June 30th 1908 a massive air blast occurred over Tunguska in Siberia - the Tunguska event - caused by a meteorite or comet fragment. The blast released the same amount of energy as 185 Hiroshima nuclear bombs. The object is thought to have been around 120 feet in diameter. It will happen again, it's just a question of where and when... Robert Spire, environmental lawyer, newly recruited to the UK's GLENCOM - Global Environmental Command - Unit is propelled into a roller coaster adventure through London, America and the Bahamas as he searches for the cause of some mysterious whale deaths. As the clues unfold, nothing can prepare him or the world, for the cataclysm that is about to unfold.”

Welcome to Setcopia: a Dystopian Thriller
”Orwellian dystopia, a dark satire into a near reality addressing voter apathy, the rise of the corporates as a political force, the role of consumerism in society and the class divide that threatens to destroy the work/life balance or ordinary people. “

The Dark Age (Survivors of the Pulse)
“It has been five-hundred years since the Pulse caused the Great Collapse, ending the Golden Age, and civilization on planet Earth. Humanity has waited ever since for a long-anticipated sign from God, which has finally appeared in the night sky. The time has come for Ferrell Young, the Warrior Clan, and the Church to risk everything in an effort to restore civilization, and bring hope to a world full of despair.”

Silence
“The year is 2064 and Samuel Hearst is living in a nightmare he may never wake up from. The United States is on its way to merging with the other countries of the world to form one giant nation and the law of the land is political correctness. Samuel once considered an outstanding citizen is now accused of breaking the law and is placed into the Insitute where people are retrained to think,act and breathe not as an individual, but as society sees fit. Hope is all but gone for Samuel, but a mysterious light appears to him pointing him to a man who holds the key to a world Samuel never thought possible.” Shorter.

More Sci-Fi-or-Fantasy-ish

CHRESTOMATHY 1: Miss Arlington Springs 11,473 B.P. (Time Lapse Humanities)
”What if mankind’s demise turns out not to be a scorched earth atomic apocalypse or a zombie retro virus? What if it’s a silent, dormant off switch in our DNA that’s triggered by human arrogance…? …But by the mid 21st Century scientists realize that man’s Homeostatic process has stopped replicating due to centuries of chemical, environmental and natural interference. Cellular therapy is unresponsive because the genes required to bypass damage and stimulate reproduction no longer exist. The human genome is broken beyond repair and the world is in crisis as the population begins to die-off rapidly. Without an immediate solution the human race faces mass extinction by the mid-22nd Century…”

Maya Jenkinson and The Trilobite Affair - Part 1
This is the first half of the complete story. The whole story has been listed here free before. This must be supposed to be to get you into it so you buy the whole one, I guess. “Two hundred years in the future and humanity is on the brink of extinction. Food supplies are low, the oil’s gone, and the environment is ravaged. Then almost by accident time travel is discovered and soon man-made “trapdoors” link the future to the past, and millions of people live up and down the timestream. Their purpose is to process food and materials and ship it upstream to feed the growing population and fuel humanity's new golden age…”

Wind Of Change - The Invasion Of Britain (Thoughtful Tales Series)
Shorter. “an intriguing, surreal, satirical drama set in the not too distant future. It is about two contrasting characters. Shirley, an ex-conservative minister, who is cryogenically unfrozen before schedule, long after Western style democracies have given way to European "dictatorship" and Heidi, a representative of the voiceless majority of the future.”

THE HELIOS RAIN
”Collins is the sole survivor of his special operations unit in Afghanistan after attack by Iranians with the chemical trichothecene - also called the Helios Rain. The United States fears its next home attack will be with this chemical weapon. Collins’ primary physician, Air Force Colonel Dr. Abram Gesecke is actively testing Collins muscle tissue in pursuit of an antidote and reason for his survival. Gesecke urges Collins not to draw attention to his newfound super strength as Collins has become a target by Iran to obtain his medical records and engineer his abduction. Indeed, an Iranian soldier, Lieutenant Kahlid Vermani, also a Helios Rain survivor like Collins is sent by Iran to the U.S. to find him. …”
