For some reason the zombie apocalypse just feels too damn survivable these days. I've developed a kink for black-holes-inside-the-Earth fiction, which is surely as niche as it gets.

The Forge of God - Greg Bear - Not strictly black holes but some truly awesome moments of utter, crushing, "oh feck"; tight tense countdownery; and a hugely memorable catastrophe more than make up for the weird aliens whose motivation never convinced me. Then again they are aliens.

The Krone Experiment - Craig Wheeler - A scientific wotdunnit dressed in Cold War atomic-brink thriller clothes. Sort of like a Michael Crighton, but with much better science and even stiffer characters (yes, it's possible). Good for the 1980's clichés as much as the science-geek spotter's guide to phenomena.  Mmm, Russians.

Can anyone recommend any more..?
