Check out The Amtrak Wars series by Patrick Tilley.
Its a set of six books. The story takes place about 1000 years after a nuclear war and the human race has been divided into 2 groups.. The Federation who are technology advanced and "clean" and the Mutants, who are more like Indians. Excellent read!!!! You may want to make sure you can get your hands on all six before you start reading because as soon as you finish one you will want to hurry up and start the next!

Any of the books in the Sci-Fi area of a library, i know it's vague but Sci-Fi/Fantasy are in same area, i love them all. Douglas Arthur is a good one he wrote the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, the books are better than the movie easily.

Hi there. I'm the author of a new medieval fantasy book that you might like. The title is THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY. It's 445 pages of action, adventure, magic, mystery and mayhem. If you like Conan, LOTR or Harry Potter type books, this may be one you'll enjoy. In fact, a Hollywood producer told me last week that Blackgloom, "...is like Braveheart meets Lord of the Rings..."
Good luck, whatever you decide to read!
Jon F. Baxley (Author, Editor, Ghostwriter and Proofreader)
THE SCYTHIAN STONE (eBook only)
THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY (eBook and hard cover)
THE REGENTS OF RHUM (coming fall '07)
Major Media Reviews:
Publishers Weekly
STARRED Review. A fast pace, sly humor, amusing dialogue and a richly researched background lift Baxley's fantasy, the first of a new series set in medieval Britain. When Merlin's long-ago apprentice Kruzurk Makshare (aka the Boozer) receives a dreamlike visitation from the legendary mage, he learns he must destroy another former apprentice, the villainous Seed of Cerberus. To do so will require a visit to the demon-guarded Blackgloom Keep. Enter young Daynin McKinnon, who discovers a curious rune-covered headstone, which may be the fabled Blackgloom Bounty, and brings it to Kruz's attention. Kruz believes it will provide entry into the fortress, while Daynin hopes the sale of the stone will restore his family's fortunes. The colorful cast of good guys and ne'er-do-wells includes the Pictish ghost of Brude McAlpin liberated from his tomb, assorted pursuing Caledonians and a bemused Prior Bede, whose monastery serves as a hiding place for the Blackgloom Bounty. Suitable for fantasy enthusiasts of all ages.
