Gah! My eyes! That third link is painful. I can think of a few things they may have missed, but no other bibliography as such. |

Remember that third link is for young adults! Most of us grownups cannot handle those colors. CC |

Perhaps someone reading this topic can help me track down a book? It's about a planeload of passengers on an airliner when the world goes nuclear, and their adventures trying to find somewhere to put down before fuel runs out. I think they end up in the Antarctic? I also think the word SUN is in the title. Came out early 90's and never seen since, though I haunt all the second hand bookshops and regularly trawl the book shelves of every charity shop I pass! |

Joppyuk, I think the book your on about was called Down to a Sunles sea. I had a copy of the book some time ago and it sounds like the one in your post. |

One which I've always enjoyed from the early 70's is Sterling E. Lanier's: "Hiero's Journey." It's a 400 page book that is worth the read. I can't say I cared much for the sequel "The Unforsaken Hiero." It was weak in comparison. Mugwump |

01Raven the book you refer to is from Lin Carter in his Martian books—four in all. They are an odd type of Lost Race novels set on a Leigh Brackett Mars and an enjoyable read. The Man who Loved Mars
The Valley where Time Stood Still
The City Outside the World
Down to a Sunless Sea |

That's the one! Down to A Sunless Sea. Just have to ask the right people. Thanks. |

One of my favorites is "Alas Babylon" that is set in the '60s."Lucifer's Hammer" is a good one about a comet strike on the earth in the '80s. |

The Stand by Stephen King. Has a 'supernatural' bad guy and overall theme but deals very well with the practicalities of life after a plague has killed off about 95% of the population of the Earth. |
