Synopsis

When dragons rise from the earth, firefighters are humanity's last line of defense, in this wild near-future fantasy. Firefighter Cole Brannigan is on the verge of retirement after 30 years on the job, and a decade fighting dragons. But during his final fire call, he discovers he's immune to dragon smoke. It's such a rare power that he's immediately conscripted into the elite dragon-fighting force known as the Smoke Eaters. Retirement cancelled, Brannigan is re-assigned as a lowly rookie, chafing under his superiors. So when he discovers a plot to take over the city's government, he takes matters into his own hands. With hundreds of innocent civilians in the crosshairs, it's up to Brannigan and his fellow Smoke Eaters to repel the dragon menace.

Original review by Durand Welsch to be published in Grimdark Magazine #15 (15th Jan 2018). Dragons, fire-fighters, post-collapse America, powered mech suits, robots, ghosts: Smoke Eaters by Sean Grigsby is a heady mash-up of tropes and genres. The novel could loosely be described as a mix of cop dram......more

Really torn about this! I wanted to LOVE this, and the premise is GREAT. I love the movie Reign of Fire, and as another reviewer pointed out: this is basically Reign of Fire, but set in America. Years after dragons started exploding out of the earth and burning everything to ash, a grizzled firefigh......more
