What to expect

Nobody knew where the virus came from.
FOX News said it had been set loose by ISIS, using spores that had been invented by the Russians in the 1980s.
MSNBC said sources indicated it might've been created by engineers at Halliburton and stolen by culty Christian types fixated on the Book of Revelation.
CNN reported both sides.
While every TV station debated the cause, the world burnt.

Pregnant school nurse, HARPER GRAYSON, had seen lots of people burn on TV, but the first person she saw burn for real was in the playground behind the school.
With the epic scope of THE PASSAGE and the emotional impact of THE ROAD, this is one woman's story of survival at the end of the world.

Critics Review

  • If you haven’t yet grabbed a copy of Joe Hill’s THE FIREMAN, you need to. Original and gripping, a page-turner

    George R.R.Martin
  • I devoured this book as if the pages themselves were on fire…an end of the world
    tale with a blazing heart of hope at its core. A contender for book of the year

    Sarah Pinborough, author of 13 MINUTES
  • Joe Hill really could set the world on fire with this book: cleverly imagined and a compulsive read

    Katherine Cowdrey, The Bookseller
  • Joe Hill has always been good, but he’s created something incandescent here,
    soaring and original. He’s a master storyteller who writes with fire in his veins

    Lauren Beukes, author of Broken Monsters
  • ‘Very well-drawn characters, some serious shocks, a great sense of humour and a willingness to break hearts as well as raise pulse rates.’

    SciFiNow
  • I would put money on this being huge. Can’t put it down

    Sam Baker, The Pool
