Tieing in with yesterday’s launch of Oblivion, the final book in the Power of Five series, Anthony lists his top ten apocalyptic books.
Dystopia. Apocalypse. Death and destruction. There are two problems when you set out to write a book in this vein. The first is that you find yourself very limited as to what you can actually describe. After all, there are so many ways that the world can end – war, disease, alien invasion, zombification etc. And whatever the cause, the end result is going to be pretty much the same: mass starvation, anarchy, long-term suffering and slow death. Unless you’re writing a screwball comedy (and there have been attempts), there’s hardly going to be much variation in the mood of the book either.
