Gamma-World-esque Novels?

[shadowlight]

I've been wanting to read a Gamma World/After-the-Bomb type book for a while now, but I haven't seen much of this genre out there.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

I've always found the following to be one of the better Gamma-esque style novels,

This series spring to mind:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0843931051/102-4884995-9141762?v=glance (Link to first in series.)

It's been a while since I read any of the books (in Norwegian), but IIRC they're reasonably entertaining and the setting is "Gamma Worldish".

Quick copy-paste from one of the customer reviews:

It is an interesting read that deals with a group of people living in a very fictional post apocalyptic future. A future that has mutants, mutated humans, a crazed Russian army along with tons of other interesting hurdles they must cross in order to stay alive. It has rich detailed characters, interesting action and some nice jokes. While it is not Shakespeare as far as the writing is concerned, it is fast paced and can keep you interested.

Ooooo... that DOES sound Gamma-World-esque. I'll definitely check this one out!

This also sounds like what I'm looking for! Thanks!

Although a bit different from the standard Gamma World setting, more a gothic pulp sci-fi post-collapse. I've found the first book of this series very interesting from a setting standpoint and plan on getting the others as they are released. In addition, the book provided much greater detail then the movies.
