Title: Looking for a series recommendation
Post by: idontknowyet on December 14, 2018, 02:19:12 AM: On of my favorite series has to be John Ringo's that starts "Under a Graveyard Sky" (I dont know if he has an actual series name). It is pretty much the opposite of what i read and really got me started on post apoc books. Its gory and violent and seems to spend forever talking about weapon. Yet i still really enjoy the book go figure. I am searching for a series of a similar ilk and have yet to be successful.

I would really prefer a series that is longer.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

It's a 14-book series with a few additional standalones thrown into the mix.

Note that it's a successful series so it may fall outside your criteria.

Might want to re-read his "successful" line for comprehension. ;)
