Jess and Storey are on their yearly camping trip in Northern Maine. But this year is different. While hunting in a rural part of Maine, they come upon a blown up bridge and a town devastated by fire. As they continue to hike, they find other towns burnt to the ground, death everywhere and not a living human being in sight. Jess’s wife has just left him. Storey has a wife and two daughters in New Hampshire, and he can’t stop wondering if they have met the same fate as the corpses he encounters.

This is a novel that is exciting, frightening and well written. Burn keeps its readers guessing almost until the last page. Burn is a story of friendship, survival, but it is also a cautionary tale.
