About this ebook

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.

"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
