It’s been a while since my last apocalypse (not counting The Walking Dead on AMC, naturally), so it was with anticipation that I opened Dies the Fire. While it scratched some of those survivalist itches, unfortunately, when I finished, I felt nothing but relief. And not the good kind. Actually, I...
The book revolves around an interesting question; What if technology and gunpowder stopped working? Well of course the obvious answer is all hell would break loose. Dies the Fire sets up the world that will continue through several titles and introduces us to the 2 groups the series will be followin...
What happens when one day the combustion engine, electrical systems and gunpowder stops working? When American society implodes? This is the story of what happens then. A story of a few different groups who form when society breaks down, some people use the opportunity to fulfil their wildest dre...
4.5Un gran flash de luz -(que nunca es explicado)- deja al mundo sin tecnología, electricidad, combustión interna, ni armas de fuego. Situado en un E.U. moderno, los aviones caen, los autos se detienen y hay caos. Una cantante de la onda folk-céltica, Juniper Mackenzie, en un momento de inspiración ...
If you like a certain kind of old school speculative fiction in the Niven/Pournelle/etc. vein, full of Mary Sues and leaden dialogue and lots of ideas, this is probably great. I've realized I'm done with that. If the idea of SCA members, pagan covens and manly outdoorsmen surviving in a world where ...
On an afternoon in early March, the world gets hit with some kind of phenomenon that causes all energy sources to stop functioning. Basically all forms of combustion stop working the way they used, even steam power doesn't work. Bullets no longer fire, explosives have no effect. It's like the proper...
George R.R. Martin and S.M. Stirling walk into a bar. It sounds like a joke, but I'm pretty sure that it has happened, and as I was reading Dies the Fire, The Protector's War, and A Meeting at Corvallis I often imagined the two men, both round-faced and balding, sitting in a dark-wood-paneled pub a...
Awesome! I could not put it down and I'm itching to get The Protector's War Emberverse: Dies the Fire Series, Book 2, just waiting for another library patron to finish so I can have it.
Listening to this has been mostly wonderful, though someone should have given the narrator a pronunciation guide for both the language from Tolkien and the place names in Oregon. I don't love it quite as much as I love reading the book, but I now have the first six books on audio, which will keep me...
Great premise. Awesome title. Terrible execution. I can usually slosh my way through even bad or boring books, but I couldn't finish this one.The main bad guy is a completely absurd history professor/LARPer who takes over all the gangs and begins murdering, enslaving, and raping at will to build a l...
