FICTION
The Book of Max (The Books of Max)
Youth. “Max is a twelve year old who is alone after a flu wipes out most of the human race in just 72 hours. First he rescues all the orphaned dogs and cats he can. Then he decides to travel to find other people. After finding his way across country dealing with food, gas, and hostile dogs, he enjoys some adventures with his new partner and mentor Jake. When they help a community of survivors in California, the real trouble begins.”
Escape To The Country
Wholesome-sounding novel by established author, about British farm life, with some romance and mystery.
TO HOLD A STORM
“A British man, Daniel Moorcroft, disappears in to the Canadian Wilderness. Why has he decided to flee society? What do the strange encounters with the bears and the wolves mean?”…explanation of Daniel’s post-war-traumatic-stress…“As Daniels adventures become increasingly serious it becomes obvious he cannot hide from his past, even in the vast emptiness of the Canadian Wilderness…This is story-telling like it used to be, and at the centre a character who is determined to succeed and to survive.”
Turmoil (The Company: Projects)
Short. Middle East arms conspiracy.
Supercritical
“Can a nuclear power plant be turned into a nuclear bomb? Sammy Wilson thinks so.” Shortish.
THE LINCOLN LETTER
“Hidden deep within the annals of American history lies a secret so devastating, it could put an end to the ‘United’ States forever…”
Alpha Threat
“This is a story steeped in truth… a stronghold in the Amazon jungle is the key to the Nazis' real goal to rule the world by destroying the world’s economy.” Starting in wartime, picked up in the present.
The Solomon Key
“The Puppet Masters are ready to usher in their prophesied utopia… But when the missing piece of their diabolical puzzle is discovered by archeologists... the ancient relic has fallen into the hands of an unsuspecting Matthew Scott, a man who wants nothing other than to stay off the grid, hiding from his former employees and the atrocious sins they had him commit… takes place within a future "New America" while the stage is finally set for world government.”
Virtually True
”A near-future, dystopic world run by corporations, where nothing is as it seems and everything is part of something else. Technology and everyday life are inseparable, and information is a weapon that can save your life--or kill you.”
Goodnight Disciples
“12/21/12: I am sure the media didn’t know, because they couldn’t have known they have been cultivating a maniacal fanatic bent on fixing the errors of society as he saw fit; that seems wholly irrelevant at this point…I know it started early—in my teens, exposed to paranoia and desk-hiding, I worried more about a nuclear attack than football or cheerleaders… The average American remains blinded by the floodlight of social mobility. …This is a let down disaster destined for destruction....." I can’t quite figure this one out for genre or plot, but it’s short, that I know!
More Sci-Fi-ish
Cryptozoic!
By long established (+ award-winning) author. Includes time-travel. “Artist Edward Bush returns from a nearly-three year mind-travel to find that his government has crumbled and society is now under the leadership of a new regime.”
Tsunami Blue (The Tsunami Blue Series)
Set in post-apocalyptic world. Great reviews. I don’t know the “PG rating.”
"… a romance with fantasy elements. The story takes place in a future earth that, around 20 years ago, suffered a rather nebulous cataclysm involving a lot of tsunamis. This devastated civilization as we know it. The leading lady has a mystical power to understand what the ocean is saying (sometimes) and thus predict when another tsunami is coming. She and her dog live alone on an island hiding from pirates. One morning a handsome man is washed ashore, and TB doesn't know whether to trust him or (is he a pirate?) kill him...”

SIGNIFICANT REDUCTIONS
Ashfall
“Many visitors to Yellowstone National Park don’t realize that the boiling hot springs and spraying geysers are caused by an underlying supervolcano, so large that the caldera can only be seen by plane or satellite. And by some scientific measurements, it could be overdue for an eruption.
For Alex, being left alone for the weekend means having the freedom to play computer games and hang out with his friends without hassle from his mother. Then the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts, plunging his hometown into a nightmare of darkness, ash, and violence. Alex begins a harrowing trek to search for his family and finds help in Darla, a travel partner he meets along the way. Together they must find the strength and skills to survive and outlast an epic disaster.”
Very well reviewed.
