Özet
 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.

If you haven't yet grabbed a copy of Joe Hill's THE FIREMAN, you need to. Original and gripping, a page-turner
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
Joe Hill really could set the world on fire with this book: cleverly imagined and a compulsive read
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
'Very well-drawn characters, some serious shocks, a great sense of humour and a willingness to break hearts as well as raise pulse rates.'
I would put money on this being huge. Can't put it down
You'll be instantly hooked if you're obsessed with The Walking Dead. It's got the whole post-apocalyptic world nailed...there is a brilliant humour amid the darkness, and the action scenes feel like a movie
Taps into fears we all have about the world coming to an end, as Donald Trump stokes the fires of racial hatred in America, wars continue across the planet and diseases such as Zika and Ebola spread with shocking speed.
Hill's writing has matured along with his ideas. He plays out the apocalypse so quickly and efficiently, through small-town witnesses and television broadcasts, that it feels absolutely devastating. And in the aftermath, he juggles a huge cast of characters with aplomb, giving each their time to shine, yet still managing to keep the tension high throughout
Original, compulsive and very frightening
Clever - but The Fireman isn't just clever, it's also a book with real soul... the deeper truths of The Fireman lie in the way it explores how we slowly build connections with those closest to us...a brave, bold and big hearted take on the end of the world
Set to blaze through bestsellers lists....exhilarating
Beautiful and aching and striking, a poignant exploration of human relationships and an ode to the simple things
A Lord of the Flies for the Twitter generation. Clever, gripping and packs a hell of a punch
Ominously superb
This book is incredible
Joe Hill (aka Stephen King Jnr) proves he's a chip off the old block with this epic post-apocalyptic adventure
The Fireman by Joe Hill is a thrilling, long-lingering, morally-striking book that set my heart and mind alight. A must read.
Breathless adventures, pulsing emotions, things that go bump in the night and so much more, with surprises lurking on the corner of every page
This is a huge cauldron of a novel that pulses with life, hope and decency as well as extreme fear and constant devastation

Outstanding

Joe Hill did well with this book, it contained enough detail to keep the story in real time, however, there was a little bit of detail and research missing in other areas that make some of the story a little implausible, however, if you don't think to much about it, the story catches up with itself, my review sounds contradicting but you'll know what I mean once you get about halfway through.

The story is well written and gripping in places, it has great moments of suspense and heartfelt emotion, you really feel you are on a journey with the main character and the relationships she has with others, it's not really about her pregnancy, that's almost an underlying sub plot that doesn't get going until much later in the book.

Overall, I would recommend it, its a great story that twists and turns and will keep you going back for more. Unfortunately, Kate Mulgrew isn't the best at offering a British accent, let alone a male one as others have reviewed and as one of the main characters the Fireman features quite a bit and she certainly can't do an Irish accent, thankfully that doesn't feature a great deal; at times, it was difficult to know who she was portraying, but given the diversity of characters, she did the best she could, it didn't detract from the main story and I didn't enjoy it any less.

To summarise - I got more than I expected and would certainly like to read/listen to another of Joe Hills offerings, but perhaps not narrated by Kate Mulgrew

Great story, full of tense and feel good moments

What made the experience of listening to The Fireman the most enjoyable?

A great twist on a potential global pandemic - told from the perspective of Harper, a nurse who is instrumental to the story.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Fireman?

John Rookwood has mastered how to control the spore - what he does with his skill (and how he hides it) is fantastic.

What does Kate Mulgrew bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Kate gives subtle nuances to all the character voices - so you do know who is speaking, even before she reads out the name. She tries a British accent , and nearly gets it!

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The book kept me excited throughout.

Enjoyable story and well read!

Every so often comes a truly remarkable novel that you fall in love with and you do not want to end. THIS IS one of those books. Also Kate Mulgrew made the book and breathed life into it. Make time as it's a long book but worth every second.

Wow!
