post-apocalypitc, etc. novels/series

[Anonymous No.1134360]

/r/ing novels considered one or more of the following:
- sophisticated post-apocalyptic sci-fi/horror (preferably without the cliche of techno-religious extraterrestrials hellbent on exterminating humanity)
-alternate history/plausible future fiction
-anachronistic fantasy (magic/robots/modern military technology, etc. on the level with miyazaki)

Urgh, I'm so sick of that genre. I guess I still like Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

William Johnstones Ashes series.
Here are some descriptions of some of the books.

The bloody war continues against the hordes of subhuman cannibals infesting the urban wasteland. But Raines and his rebel forces encounter an even greater threat to their dream of a new America as a reawakened Ku Klux Klan sows the poisonous seeds of ignorance and prejudice. This hideous scourge must be eradicated at all costs, either through education...or annihilation. For Ben Raines knows that of all the threats to mankind's survival, blind and brutal hatred is the deadliest...

While in the Hawaiian Islands ending the rule of slavers, thugs and the cannibalistic Night People, Ben Raines and his rebel army learn of a new threat to their homeland. A grim spectre from the past--an army of Nazis led by the maniacal Jesus Dieguez Mendoza Hoffman--is marching through South America toward the vulnerable heartland of America. Not content to crush America, Hoffman has singled out Ben Raines for a hideous fate. Now, with the famed warrior a prisoner, his life hanging in the balance, only the outnumbered but undefeated Rebels stand in the way of the terrorist-trained Death's Head battalions bent on the destruction of the once proud land of liberty and freedom!

The power-mad Libyan terrorist, Khamasin, has already begun his bloodthirsty assault on America's southern tier. But an even deadlier threat lurks in the plague-ridden ruins of the country's once-great cities: the Night People--crazed, flesh-eating packs of mutants in searhc of fresh, human kill. Facing assault from two mortal enemies, Ben Raines and his Rebels are in for the battle of their lives. But the do-or-die freedom fighters are willing to face Hell on Earth to strike a blow for America's survival.

I can't believe someone else has read that. My mother picked it up at the bookstore cold and liked it then gave it to me. I had a little trouble sticking with it in the beginning but my god does it ramp up fast. In their minds the world falls apart quite quickly...

Also, Niven and Pournelle have a few other books that are quite good my favorite so far being The Mote in God's Eye (though I haven't re-read it since I was a teenager so I might not enjoy it quite as much anymore, that seems to be happening quite frequently when I go back to books I used to love).
