Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy.

Will complete review later. Very good book. Not as good as the painter or dog stars but still good. Still Heller. What's not to like?

Burn is the latest book by Peter Heller. It centers around two friends, Jess & Storey, who discover the world is in upheaval upon returning from their annual hunting trip in Maine. The story goes back and forth between the present and the past. I found the flashbacks interesting though some of the details are a bit bizarre. The two boys grew up together, and Jess had kept a secret from Storey that weighed on him for their whole relationship. Eventually the secret comes out and Storey reveals he already knew it. Heller describes the modern US civil war setting with remarkable skill. The story explores friendship, betrayal, redemption, honor, resilience, love, chosen family, survival, � all themes we often see from Heller � which is part of why we love him as an author. The story is thrilling and suspenseful, Heller has written other dystopian fiction � “The Dog Stars� and a short story “The Island.�

Thank you to NetGalley and Knopf for providing an ARC
