Although the state of Maine has convulsed all summer with secession mania--a mania that has simultaneously spread across other states--Jess and Storey figure it's a fight reserved for legislators or, worst-case scenario, folks in the capital. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut after weeks hunting off the grid, the men reach a small town and are shocked by what they find: a bridge blown apart, buildings burned to the ground, and bombed-out cars abandoned on the road. Trying to make sense of the sudden destruction all around them, they set their sights on finding their way home, dragging a wagon across bumpy dirt roads, scavenging from boats left in lakes, and dodging armed men--secessionists or U.S. military, they cannot tell--as they seek a path to safety. Then, a startling discovery drastically alters their path and the stakes of their escape. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrenched in the beauty of the natural world and attuned to the specific cadences of male friendship, even here at the edge of doom, Burn is both a blistering warning about a divided country's political strife and an ode to the salvation found in our chosen families.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePETER HELLER is the best-selling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Guide, The River, Celine, The Painter\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Dog Stars\u003c\/i\u003e, which has been published in twenty-two languages.
