The Fires of Orc
In the wasted world, what does an old man remember? Before the fires he was part of something, something that would last. So he thought. Looking back fifty years to the destruction of 2032, he knows the end was inevitable. Power, greed, ambition and murder were the order of the day – and then the fires. A survivor remembers how the dawn of quantum computing signaled the end of democracy, how lust, vengeance and scandal lit the fuse, and how a hardened few started over, rebuilding tomorrow from the ruins of yesterday.
With equal parts prophecy and prose, The Fires of Orc is a complex tale of intrigue told from a frighteningly foreseeable future. Fans of George Orwell, Philip K. Dick and Ursula Le Guin will recognize and appreciate the scope of this post-apocalyptic thriller. The debut novel from acclaimed editorial writer Tony Phillips, The Fires of Orc is sure to be 2017’s most talked about cross-genre book, blending classic themes with postmodern style and a nod to the prose of a bygone century.
