Emberverse I
S. M. Stirling · 3 novels · 1 novelette · 2004–2013
Dies the Fire opens S. M. Stirling's Emberverse with "the Change," a sudden and unexplained global event that switches off electricity, gunpowder, and every other high-energy technology at once, forcing scattered survivors like an ex-Marine pilot and a folk musician to rebuild using medieval tools and tactics. This first trilogy, continuing through The Protector's War and A Meeting at Corvallis, follows rival Oregon communities as they turn into competing societies built around whatever myths and skills let them survive.
