If you don't mind a somewhat bleak post apocalyptic book, I really liked Metro 2033 by Dmitri Glukhovsky.
There's a game series based on it too, but you asked for books and I haven't played the games
Thank you for the suggestion. Always wondered whether the games are based on the book. Am really curious about it!
Late to the party but 2033 (game & book) follow the same basic plot with different events. Metro 2034 (2nd book) is it's own thing. Metro Last Light (2nd game) inspired Metro 2035 (3rd book) which inturn inspired Metro Exodus (3rd game).
There are two different canons but generally overlap. The differences are largely based on adapting the books to work as games.
Ah, thanks a lot for clarifying! Super interesting how they inspired each other.
What's the connection between a story about a man's voyage in the underground metros of irradiated Moscow to save his home and a story about two politician's son falling in love that made you feel I'd be interested in that book?
