Review Quotes:
"[A] superb supernatural thriller . . . a tremendous, heartrending epic of bravery and love set in a fully realized and terrifying apocalyptic world, where hope lies in the simplest of gestures and the fullest of hearts." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Joe Hill is back with his original take on the apocalypse. . . . Take the ideas, characters, and tone of Station Eleven (2014) and add a large helping of the action, villains, and unrelenting menace from Doctor Sleep (2013) and you have The Fireman, an excellent example of the very best that genre fiction has to offer readers today." - Booklist (starred review)
"Hill has a talent for depicting fascinating characters caught in terrible situations. . . . With a full cast of characters and multiple story lines to keep the reader hooked, Hill's enthralling fourth thriller hits another home run." - Library Journal (starred review)
"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
"In The Fireman, Joe Hill's description of a world staggered by an epidemic of spontaneous combustion feels fresh and strange and is rendered with haunting beauty." - New York Times Book Review
