Burn: A novel Authored By Peter Heller

In Burn, the latest novel from the best-selling author of The Dog Stars, readers are taken on a harrowing journey through a dystopian America, where two lifelong friends, Jess and Storey, find themselves in a world unraveling by violence and political chaos. Every year, the two men escape the noise of civilization to the remote wilderness of Maine, where they camp, hunt, and share a deep, unspoken bond forged over years of companionship.

This time, however, they return from their annual retreat to find their country transformed beyond recognition. The state of Maine, once a bastion of peace, has been torn apart by secession mania—a political fever that has swept across the nation. The destruction is immediate and shocking: bridges blown apart, towns reduced to ashes, and roads littered with the remnants of a society in collapse.

As they attempt to navigate this new reality, Jess and Storey are thrust into a desperate struggle for survival. With no clear idea of who the enemy is—whether it be secessionists or the U.S. military—their journey becomes a tense and dangerous odyssey across a landscape where the rules of civilization no longer apply. Along the way, they make a startling discovery that not only changes the stakes of their journey but forces them to confront the depths of their friendship and their place in a fractured world.

Burn is a powerful exploration of male friendship set against the backdrop of a nation on the brink. It serves as both a chilling warning about the consequences of political division and a testament to the enduring bonds that can provide hope even in the darkest of times. 📚❤️
