Here's some of what I've read lately.
Starting off with the doomsday 4.
One Second After by William Forstchen - think "Alas Babylon" but about 1000 times more real. It makes you want to stock up and move to the hills.
The "Moon Crash" trilogy by Susan Beth Pfeffer
Life as We Knew It
The Dead and the Gone
This World We Live In
An asteroid hits the moon and changes the orbit closer to earth. Almost everyone dies... but not quite. No zombies or anything like that.
The Last Days of Krypton by Kevin J. Anderson - an exploration of Krypton's past, with Jor-El and General Zod. Culminates with the spaceship launch of Kal-El to Earth.
Hidden Empire: The Saga of Seven Suns by Kevin J. Anderson - This was book 1 of the series, I may not finish this one.
Bleak History by John Shirley - an odd book, but a fairly good read.
The next three are by John Scalzi
Old Man's War
The Ghost Brigades
The Last Colony
Old Man's War will remind you a lot of Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" and somewhat of "The Forever War" by Haldeman. All three are excellent reads.
The Accidental Hero by Matt Myklusch - previously published as Jack Blank and the Imagine Nation. An adequate read, not sure if I'll continue on.
