Fire

Two countries on the brink of nuclear war. The President is bent on avenging the greatest loss a man can endure: the First Lady. A dangerous religious organization vying to control the fate of the earth. A mysterious virus leading to the resurrection of the dead all over the planet. A bestial nightmare of a creature straight out of Revelation. These are the elements at play in FIRE, an epic novel of the world in what might be its final days.

"This is a real story, full of life in the midst of death, magnanimity in the midst of cruelty, creation in the midst of devastation. Those other guys know horror. Rodgers knows humanity. If there's any justice in this world, then half a million copies of this book won't be enough." -- Orson Scott Card reviewing Fire for Hatrack River

"Every so often, a truly seminal book is published in the horror field. Blatty's The Exorcist, King's The Stand, Barker's Books of Blood. Alan Rodgers' Fire is such a book. It is a tale of amazing sweep and scope, uniting Biblical prophecies and hightech, ancient horrors with new ones cobbled up from labs and shadows. After this book, everything changes." -- J. Michael Straczynski, creator of Babylon Five

"With Fire, Alan Rodgers shows that he can set the whole world of horror alight. Powerful, frightening, apocalyptic." -- Graham Masterton

"This book's pages turn like a windmill in an F-5 tornado!" -- the Publisher
