In the tenth year of The Change, the survivors in western Oregon have learned how to live in a world without technology. The city-state of Corvallis has preserved its university, and trade flourishes via riverboats and horse-drawn railways. Under the strong hand of Michael Havel, the Bearkillers hold the lands west of Salem in peace and order. And in the eastern half of the Willamette Valley, the Clan Mackenzie flourishes under the charismatic leadership of Juniper Mackenzie, bard and High Priestess.

Together, they have held the Lord Protector, Norman Armingerâ??the warlord of Portlandâ??at bay. With his dark fantasies of a neofeudal empire, Arminger has extended his power over much of the Pacific Northwest, spreading fear with his knights, castles, and holy inquisition. Even more dangerous, and perhaps Arminger's most powerful weapon of all, is the ruthlessly cunning mind of his consort, Lady Sandra.

The tensions between these factions have been building for some time, and the only reason they haven't confronted one another on the battlefield is because Arminger's daughter has fallen into Clan Mackenzie's hands. But Lady Sandra has a plan to retrieve herâ??a plan that threatens to plunge the entire region into open warf… (plus d'informations)

My only issue with this, and really the second book in the series as well, was the repeated kidnapping attempts/subplots. It seemed a little overdone after the second one, I feel like it was a real plot stretch to keep a focus on the kids since the author knew the next generation was going to be the focus of the series moving forwards.

good action in this one; a little predictable but still fun ( )

Very interesting read. No science fiction here, except for the initial premise that a sudden change eliminates all electricity and spark driven machinery. Stirling is a good author, but in this book, set in Oregon, he goes a little overboard in describing the wonders of Oregon's countryside. He also over-describes middle ages type of battles, protective clothing, and weapons. All that gets a little tedious. Nevertheless, this continuation of "Dies the Fire" is a good read. ( )

Third entry to the Emberverse, finishing up the series about the first 10 or so years after The Change. No one knows quite what happened, but on one fine evening, suddenly machines all stopped working at once. There followed massive upheaval and a few hearty folks who struggled to survive. These three books covered several small enclaves in the Pacific Northwest, and how they managed to put together a follow on civilization.

Lots of interesting learning to make-do, reinvention of primitive techniques for survival and lots of interesting approaches to governance. ( )

The third book wraps up the storylines began in the first two, and it surprisingly has a GREAT ending. the writing is cleaner and less clunky in this third book so it flows nicely. ( )

Norman Arminger-he rarely thought of himself as anything but the Lord Protector these days-stared at the great map that showed his domains, and those of his stubbornly independent neighbors; it covered the whole of the former Oregon and Washington, with bits of the old states of Idaho and northern California thrown in.
