The Remaining is on of my favorite series! I've read the first 6 books at least 3 times each, and then reread the second set of 6, plus the 4 add on novels after that. I love me some post apoc fiction. Also, DJ Molles finds a nice way to make the characters a little more introspective than other series do, which I appreciate. Hope you stick with them!

    Oh yeh, I love some post apocalyptic stuff too, I mean I'm nearly 200 books deep into the Deathlands series of books which says it all really xD

    I will definitely stick with it for a while, my list only has 11 books on it though including the two novellas trust and faith. I know there is another series of books about Lee that I haven't looked into yet, I was going to see how I felt at the end to see if I wanted to pick those up.

    I haven't heard of Deathlands before. 200 books might be a bit beyond my attention span haha. As for the Remaining, there are the 6 books, 2 novellas, the prequel (Project Hometown), then the follow on Lee Harden series that has 6 numbered books and 4 other novels interspersed in the timeline.

    The official list is here. Enjoy!

    Nice, thanks for the info and link, would you recommend the Lee Harden series as well?

    And I don't blame you on Deathlands, I think the mainline books are up to ~165 or so, I completed one spin off that only has 5 books and I'm on about book 10 of 50 of a different spin off and I love it, just been taking a break with some other things as it has Ben around 2 years of constant Deathlands for me to get to the point I'm at xD

    It has a lull in the middle where it isn't as good but it picks back up towards the end. All of the books are some what stand alone stories following the same characters with a pretty loose over arching narrative. The low in the middle are pretty much only connected by the characters and the books sit as standalone stories and I think that's one reason I liked it less at that point.
