Stirling:A powerful, convincing adventure with a large cast of ordinary and extraordinary people. Don't miss it. —Harry TurtledoveA stunning speculative vision of a near-future bereft of modern conveniences but filled with human hope and determination. Highly recommended. —Library JournalPost-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 WeeklyStirling 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 WeeklyFans of apocalyptical thrillers like Stephen King's The Stand will find Dies the Fire absolutely riveting . . . a fantastic epic work. —Midwest Book ReviewThis volume delivers an engaging and approachable new adventure along with one of the very best of the classic stories. —GrimDark MagazineAbsolute fanboy's dream . . . S.M. Stirling, along with illustrator Robert De La Torre, do a bang-up job with Blood of the Serpent. Cheers to Titan Books as well! The only other thing this fanboy can ask for is: More, please! —Fantasy Literature
