Bloodsong and Bloodtide by Melvin Burgess are post-Apocalyptic (as well as being a modern take on famous Nordic sagas).

Also recommend the Unwind series by Neal Shusterman.

The old Jean Ure trilogy - Plague 99 and its sequels - is good, as are books by John Wyndham - The Day of the Triffids is perfectly good for a 15 yr old, as is The Midwich Cuckoos, The Kraken Wakes.

Only Ever Yours which is a bit like a teen version of The Handmaiden 's Tale. Thought provoking and very readable.

Majorie Blackman's "noughts and crosses" is a future set star-crossed-lovers-type teen fiction which turns up on a lot of 'best 100 books' lists.
