If you're new to this genre, 'Dune' by Frank Herbert is a good choice. It has a complex universe where there are threats to the balance of power and existence, which can be related to the concept of an extinction - level event. 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' by Douglas Adams is also fun. It has the Earth being destroyed for the construction of a hyperspace bypass, which is an extreme form of an event that wipes out a planet. And 'Ender's Game' by Orson Scott Card shows how a war against an alien race could potentially have far - reaching consequences for humanity, similar to an extinction - level event.
One great book is 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy. It depicts a post - apocalyptic world after some kind of extinction - level event. The story follows a father and son as they struggle to survive in a desolate and dangerous landscape filled with scavengers and little hope. Another is 'A Canticle for Leibowitz' which shows different time periods after a nuclear - like cataclysm and how society and religion are affected over time. Also, 'Lucifer's Hammer' is about an asteroid impact and the chaos and survival efforts that follow.
