I've also enjoyed this series called the Pelbar Cycle.  The seventh, and from
the looks of the the last, in the series just appeared in the bookstores up here
in Canada.  It's called _The_Sword_of_Forbearance.  It essentially brings
to a climax all the preceding events and characters.  I wouldn't exactly say
that this is a recent series.  The first book came out about seven years ago
I think, I'm too lazy to check.  All in all it's a good series about the
resurrection of civilization in North America.  The characters are a bit
predictable at times but usually quite interesting.  The main weakness in the
last book is an overabundance of main characters.  If you haven't read any of
the previous books it can get overwhelming but I guess that's true for any
closing or last book in a series.
