Not exactly apocalyptic (well, I guess it's pretty apocalyptic for the victims of the war), but Iain M. Banks' Consider Phlebas has plenty of action and is a fun read (and a gateway to the rest of the Culture series)...
Content warning for Consider Phlebas and almost every other book of the Culture series: there is often a scene in each book where torture or sexual violence is described in extreme and unnecessary detail. The books are good outside of those sections, but you need to know what you're getting into.
Surface detail especially
Love the books though
I second any of Iain M. Banks books.
They are really easy to read, it's Space Opera rather than hard-science fiction.
Also, they are funny.
