I was introduced to S.M. Stirling's trilogy "Dies the Fire" by a friend at Wotmania. I really liked it and moved on to "The Sunrise Lands" the four book series set later in the same "emberverse" world.
*"Dies the Fire" chronicles the struggle of two groups who try to survive "The Change", a sudden worldwide event that alters physical laws so that electricity, gunpowder and most other forms of high-energy-density technology no longer work. As a result, modern civilization comes crashing down.
"The Sunrise Lands" is based around a quest by the sons and daughters of the main characters from the first trilogy, to travel across the face of a changed America all the way to Nantucket.
You know what? I really, really suck at book reviews and such so I'm not going to do one.
I was just wondering if anyone else has read and enjoyed these books.
*I admit to copy and pasting the above because as I said, also above, I suck at book reviews.

The series is well worth reading. I started reading this guy with the Island on the sea of time series which is kind of a sister series to the Dies the fire books. I really enjoy the way he builds communities and looks at the different ways that people can relate to each other in them. His research into different cultures, history and engineering is pretty intense and makes for a very believable world.
S.M Stirling, anyone?

The first one is on my to-read list. Unfortunately I'm still on F-G. *NM*
