William Forstchen’s “One Second After” series is very good and brings a lot of commonalities between itself and Jericho.

I just got the first one a couple weeks ago, haven't started it yet but that was definitely what I was hoping for

There's more? Dang. I only read the first one, and that was a ride and a half. Poor guy's daughter, too. She needed insulin and basically nobody had it after the big bang.

Alas, Babylon. Set in Florida back in the 50s, one of the first in the genre.

Lights Out by David Crawford is there with One Second After. There are a million and one post-apocalyptic books but few focus on the community, relationships, and struggles without going overboard.

The Jakarta Pandemic series is another. By Steve Konkoly. I only read book 1 and I loved it. It’s a COVID-type disaster written long before COVID.

Lucifer’s Hammer was my first foray into survivalist fiction. It’s still one of the greatest stories ever. Play: A comet hits earth and multiple groups of survivors in California need to band together.
