Summary: Here are some more titles

In addition to those posted by sonja@genie in <425@genie.UUCP>,
here's a further list of "post-apocalypse" novels. My criteria for
inclusion here are as follows:

1. "End-of-the-world". A catastrophe or major nuclear war that kills off
   a good percentage of the human race occurs towards the beginning of
   the book.

2. "Man-in-the-rubble". Events immediately after such a catastrophe or war.

3. "After-the-fall". Events many years or generations after such a
   catastrophe or war.

I'm purposely being formal about the criteria since there are zillions
of sf novels that contain, in some form, reference to nuclear wars,
plagues, natural catastrophes, etc.

This list is far from exhaustive, even combined with sonja@genie's.
It was more or less "off the top of my head," and I've probably missed
a fair number of obvious ones. Novelettes and short stories are not
included; there are too many even to begin.  If you come up with some
others, send 'em to me, and I'll compile a list and make it available.
