WHEN THE WORLD BURNS....WHO WILL YOU FIGHT FOR?

'Fantastically compelling' OBSERVER
'Original and gripping' GEORGE R.R. MARTIN
'Absolutely devastating' THE GUARDIAN
'Epic' SUNDAY MIRROR

Nobody knew where the virus came from. FOX News claimed it had been set loose by terrorists, MSNBC said sources indicated it might've been stolen by cult Christian types fixated on the Book of Revelation. While every TV station debated the cause, the world erupted in flames.

Pregnant school nurse Harper Grayson had seen lots of people burn on television. The first person she saw burn for real was in the playground behind her school. Now she is infected and has only one goal - to survive long enough to give birth. But the fire is spreading and civilization is being reduced to ashes . . .

'Joe Hill gloriously resurrects the doorstop horror blockbuster for a startling new century' ALAN MOORE
'A soaring epic and painfully intimate. You won't be able to stop burning through the pages' PAUL TREMBLAY
'Perfection from start to finish' DAILY EXPRESS
'A commanding, captivating read' FINANCIAL TIMES
'Epic...a multi-layered, rich response to the horrors and hopes of living today' DAILY MAIL
'A wild, genre-defying journey, packed with all sorts of unexpected twists and turns' DAILY MIRROR
'A glorious, wild ride' NEW YORK TIMES

I'm a fan of Joe Hill but was a little disappointed in this story especially with the Mary Poppins stuff
