Reviews
"A Maine camping trip turns into a fight for survival in this meditative dystopian thriller from Heller....Despite the high stakes, Heller gives the narrative plenty of space to breathe, allowing him to cast a haunting, immersive spell as his heroes traverse the ruined landscape. Painterly descriptions of nature and sparkling philosophical ruminations...elevate the proceedings. The result is a wilderness adventure with real emotional depth." --Publishers Weekly "Heller's novel follows Jess and Storey, two friends in Maine, as their annual hunting trip turns calamitous . . . The exact nature of the catastrophe isn't revealed until partway through . . . Heller ably captures the white-knuckle momentum as the two men try to stay alive--bringing this book closer in tone to James Dickey's WWII-era thriller To the White Sea than to Cormac McCarthy's The Road . . . An ambitious story of survival . . . Thrilling." --Kirkus, "Heller's novel follows Jess and Storey, two friends in Maine, as their annual hunting trip turns calamitous . . .

An ambitious story of survival . . . Thrilling." --Kirkus, "Gripping, dark and surprisingly political.... Burn grabs you from its first chapter -- in which Jess and Storey wander into an abandoned town where the torched buildings are still smoldering -- and never lets go. Heller doesn't provide many signs that his warring factions can come to an understanding but, as in all of his books, he offers comfort in the goodness of (some) people and the very human instinct to keep each other safe." -- Chris Hewitt, Minneapolis Star Tribune "Many of Peter Heller's books -- fiction and nonfiction -- concern outdoor adventures, by which I really mean survival stories: on a river, in a mountain lodge, even on a Japanese whaling ship. But Heller always goes deeper than derring-do, excavating the complex emotions beneath a character's avalanche of fears." -- Bethanne Patrick, Los Angeles Times "Heller...writes about the natural world as well as anyone. In Burn a pot of campfire coffee is as vividly described as a surprise helicopter attack, and Jess and Storey's fight for survival exposes their all too human frailties--and the hidden truths that define their friendship." -- Taylor Antrim, Vogue "Heller's seventh novel, Burn is one of his best: It's full of heart and soul amid the bleak landscape....Heller excels at writing about the wilderness, showcasing its might and beauty amid deadly situations.... Burn interweaves [Jess' and Storey's] past and present lives with admirable flair, making each thread equally riveting....A propulsive tale that will keep readers on the edges of their seats from beginning to end." --BookPage "A Maine camping trip turns into a fight for survival in this meditative dystopian thriller from Heller....Despite the high stakes, Heller gives the narrative plenty of space to breathe, allowing him to cast a haunting, immersive spell as his heroes traverse the ruined landscape.

Synopsis
From the best-selling author of The Dog Stars and The Last Ranger, a novel about two men--friends since boyhood--who emerge from the woods of rural Maine to a dystopian country racked by bewildering violence Every year, Jess and Storey have made an annual pilgrimage to the most remote corners of the country, where they camp, hunt, and hike, leaving much from their long friendship unspoken. Although the state of Maine has convulsed all summer with secession mania--a mania that has simultaneously spread across other states--Jess and Storey figure it's a fight reserved for legislators or, worst-case scenario, folks in the capital. But after weeks hunting off the grid, the men reach a small town and are shocked by what they find: a bridge blown apart, buildings burned to the ground, and bombed-out cars abandoned on the road. Trying to make sense of the sudden destruction all around them, they set their sights on finding their way home, dragging a wagon across bumpy dirt roads, scavenging from boats left in lakes, and dodging armed men--secessionists or U.S. military, they cannot tell--as they seek a path to safety. Then, a startling discovery drastically alters their path and the stakes of their escape. Drenched in the beauty of the natural world and attuned to the specific cadences of male friendship, even here at the edge of doom, Burn is both a blistering warning about a divided country's political strife and an ode to the salvation found in our chosen families., From the acclaimed author of The Last Ranger, a novel about two men--friends since boyhood--who emerge from the woods of rural Maine to a dystopian country wracked by bewildering violence
