Dies The Fire - S.M. Stirling
Publisher: US - ROC Books
The Change occurred when an electrical storm centered over the island of Nantucket produced a blinding white flash that rendered all electronic devices and fuels inoperable. What follows is the most terrible global catastrophe in the history of the human race—-and a Dark Age more universal and complete than could possibly be imagined.
I came across this in my local bookstore as one of their imports from the US - and how I wish I had picked it up now!

If it makes you feel any better, I JUST got my copy of Hunger games last weekend, and even then, I wouldn't have had it not been for a lucky tax return giving me more money than I had expected. Otherwise, I still wouldn't have read it either!
ReplyDeleteI think that's the US cover for the Hunger Games (well it looks like the one I picked up in Los Angeles airport last month anyway) - it's much better than the UK cover I saw in W H Smiths. Covers aside, it's a very good read, as I was informed later that afternoon by a girl on the plane!
ReplyDeleteOMG The Hunger Games is AMAZING!!!! Read it! and I still need to read Matched too :S i need to get a copy! ARGH!! and I agree with Emma ^, the US Cover IS better! :D Nice Wishlist!
