The Change occurred when an electrical storm centered over the island of Nantucket produced a blinding white flash that rendered all electronic devices and fuels inoperable. What follows is the most terrible global catastrophe in the history of the human race-and a Dark Age more universal and complete than could possibly be imagined.

[...] the novel as a whole tends to be repetitious and fails to come off the page as truly compelling!

Dies the Fire is an intelligent, meticulously crafted, but overlong and sometimes pokey end-of-the-world epic that unfolds in the same setting as Steve Stirling's 1998 hit Island in the Sea of Time.

Overall, I found Dies the Fire to be a passably enjoyable but over-long and oddly focused story, set in a fascinating speculative world.
