The Fire Sermon

By: Francesca Haig

Narrated by: Lauren Fortgang

The Hunger Games meets Cormac McCarthy's The Road in this richly imagined first novel in a new postapocalyptic trilogy by award-winning poet Francesca Haig.

Four hundred years in the future, the Earth has turned primitive following a nuclear fire that laid waste to civilization and nature. Though the radiation fallout has ended, for some unknowable reason every person is born with a twin. Of each pair one is an Alpha - physically perfect in every way - and the other an Omega burdened with deformity, small or large.

With the Council ruling an apartheid-like society, Omegas are branded and ostracized while the Alphas have gathered the world’s sparse resources for themselves. Though proclaiming their superiority, for all their effort Alphas cannot escape one harsh fact: Whenever one twin dies, so does the other. Cass is a rare Omega, one burdened with psychic foresight. While her twin, Zach, gains power on the Alpha Council, she dares to dream the most dangerous dream of all: equality. For daring to envision a world in which Alphas and Omegas live side by side as equals, both the Council and the Resistance have her in their sights.

Great story, amazing development, horrific dialogu

Most of the book was exceptional, but the dialogue was simply poorly executed, making 1 of the lead characters seem like a sarcastic high school student, rather than a man in his 20's who had been through a life-altering experience.

It was just ok

It's kind of a combination of Maze Runner and the Matrix in a post apocalypse setting. Even if this is the first of a series it failed to really have a great storyline. In the end you are left with a recycled story in a trendy setting.

Awesome

I enjoyed this book so much! Can't wait for the next one! Up there with divergent and maze runner. The narrator was great too.

Slow moving story line

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I like the concept of the story, but felt that the story itself fell flat of my expectations

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

predictable

What three words best describe Lauren Fortgang’s performance?

Reads Too Fast

Do you think The Fire Sermon needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Not really, don't know what else they could bring in

love it!

You must read this!!! This story is perfect if you love hunger games,maze runners,and divergent.
