It is the one where civilization is zapped (or at least >totally screwed up) by a non-alien occurrence. So far I have read >Lucifer's Hammer, The Stand, and War Day. I am currently reading >The Floating Dragon, and have enjoyed the first half of the book. >Does anyone else enjoy this kind of Speculative Fiction? >Brendan E. Boelke I used to really enjoy this sub-genre (not to say I no longer do). One of my very, very favorite books falls into this category. I can't think of some of the others, but will look later. I definitely would recommend "Malevil" by Robert Merle. I thought it was outstanding. Dan Nichols -------
