“Heller’s seventh novel, Burn is one of his best: It’s full of heart and soul amid the bleak landscape....Heller excels at writing about the wilderness, showcasing its might and beauty amid deadly situations....Burn interweaves [Jess’ and Storey’s] past and present lives with admirable flair, making each thread equally riveting....A propulsive tale that will keep readers on the edges of their seats from beginning to end.” —BookPage “A Maine camping trip turns into a fight for survival in this meditative dystopian thriller from Heller....Despite the high stakes, Heller gives the narrative plenty of space to breathe, allowing him to cast a haunting, immersive spell as his heroes traverse the ruined landscape. Painterly descriptions of nature and sparkling philosophical ruminations...elevate the proceedings. The result is a wilderness adventure with real emotional depth.” —Publishers Weekly “Heller’s novel follows Jess and Storey, two friends in Maine, as their annual hunting trip turns calamitous....The exact nature of the catastrophe isn’t revealed until partway through....Heller ably captures the white-knuckle momentum as the two men try to stay alive—bringing this book closer in tone to James Dickey’s WWII–era thriller To the White Sea than to Cormac McCarthy’s The Road....An ambitious story of survival....Thrilling.” —Kirkus
