Endworld is David Robbins's post-nuclear survival series, opening with The Fox Run (1986). The early titles all carry a Run suffix - Thief River Falls Run, Twin Cities Run, Dakota Run, Denver Run, Anaheim Run - and later entries such as Synthezoids (2018) close out a 44-book sequence. Nuclear warfare, survival, pirates and vampires supply the hazards, and the 1980s are the series' densest decade.
