Dies the Fire

Praise for Dies the Fire“A powerful, convincing adventure with a large cast of ordinary and extraordinary people. Don’t miss it.”—Harry Turtledove“A stunning speculative vision of a near-future bereft of modern conveniences but filled with human hope and determination. Highly recommended.”—Library Journal“Post-apocalypse novels often veer either too heavily into romantic Robinsonades or nihilistic dead ends. But Stirling has struck the perfect balance between grit and glory.”—Science Fiction Weekly“Stirling shows that while our technology influences the means by which we live, it is the myths we believe in that determine how we live. The novel’s dual themes—myth and technology—should appeal to both fantasy and hard SF readers as well as to techno-thriller fans.”—Publishers Weekly“Fans of apocalyptical thrillers like Stephen King’s The Stand will find Dies the Fire absolutely riveting…a fantastic epic work.”—Midwest Book Review
