Freedom's Landing
Freedom's Choice
Freedom's Challenge
Freedom's Ransom
Excellent Sci-fi novels of a human space travel to a new planet and the struggles and strife with the new terrain that almost wiped out their new colonies, and the successes they made in DNA dragon mutation in order to establish a way to survive.

I tease, I tease....
But I am surprised no one at least MENTIONED Alas, Babylon. "Alas, Babylon" by Pat Frank was my first foray into dystopian literature as a high schooler. I found it in my school library, and fell in love with the genre before I even knew it was a genre. It is somewhat dated, I admit this. It was written in the fifties, at the crux of the sixties. Nuclear war fear era.
Despite its being dated, though I have read and loved many a dystopian tale since, "Alas Babylon" is one I continue to turn back to and re-read. It is probably one of my top five favorite books of all time.
I do have to give Stephen King's "The Stand" a shout-out though. If "Alas, Babylon" had never been written, then "The Stand" would be my favorite bit of dystopian wonderful.
