I just read Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel , and it's living rent free in my brain.

It was such a powerful book in so many ways. I loved the way the different storylines and characters were tied together, some intricately and some just loosely, as well as the multiple perspectives, timelines, and storylines.

I believe it was originally suggested to me as a book similar to the TV show LOST(2004-2010) and it did satisfy that quite well.

Other books that I have read and enjoyed in a similar vein include:

  • The Silo trilogy by High Howey ( Wool, Shift, and Dust)
  • Wayward Pines series by Blake Crouch (Pines, Wayward, and The Last Town)
  • Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh
  • MaddAddam Trilogy by Margaret Atwood (Oryx & Crake, the Year of the Flood, and MaddAddam)

Does anyone have any book suggestions for something similar I should look for?

Thanks!

"How Few Remain" by Harry Turtledove. Alternate history where the South won the Civil war and now the North is coming for payback. Numerous characters interacting. warning - this book is a standalone, but it leads into a multi-book series where the two nations go through WW1, the Depression, and WW2.

Be warned. Turtledove write A LOT of books. I have read many of his books, but it's like watching the first episode of Dragonball or Star Trek. Be warned!!
