Not On Fire, But Burning: A Novel

"The Wakefields, the family at the heart of Greg Hrbek’s Not on Fire, But Burning, live in New York, having fled California after a catastrophic event that destroyed San Francisco. In a chilling twist on the dystopian formula, this catastrophe has never been explained, and the lingering uncertainty has transformed the country’s identity for the worse. Departing radically and refreshingly from the expected, the book operates simultaneously as apocalyptic alarmism, brain-bending quantum fiction, character-driven drama and gripping mystery."
