Kids Love It
I bought this for a girl who doesn't read as often as she should and she couldn't put it down. She has already asked me about the next book in the trilogy.

Real Kids Real Adventures: Firestorm (Real Kids Real Adventures , No 6) 11 reviews
Deborah Morris
Berkley, 1998
action galore
I get bored easily with books filled with characters that do nothing but sit around and talk and talk half of the book. This is not one of Keith Douglass's problems. His characters do not do any more talking then necessary to keep the plot moving along. His novels will keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next and if the team will manage to bring off the planed ...

Firestorm: The Nuclear Man -- Reborn3 reviews
Stuart Moore
DC Comics, 2007
Great art with substantial storyline leaving you wanting more...
I've been collecting comics for almost 2 decades now and I can say this about the new firestorm book. It is, without a doubt, a very thought provoking storyline that does more than just do SMASH! BANG! BOOM! and other stereotypical comic tales. It includes abuse, horror of what the powers can do, as well as having to take on the "baggage" from the previous incarnation / predecessor of this ...

Firestorm: The Bombing of Dresden, 1945 3 reviews
Paul Addison
Ivan R. Dee, Publisher, 2006
A balanced description of the attack and its aftermath
_Firestorm: The Bombing of Dresden, 1945_ consists of ten chapters (including the retrospect) by ten authorities on various aspects of the Dresden raids, from the post-WWI British military theory which in part justified the raids in the eyes of its planners, to the modern day reconstruction of the city's monuments. I found the multiple perspectives very useful, and a good supplement to the ...

Firestorm: Preventing and Overcoming Church Conflicts 17 reviews
Ron Susek
Baker Books, 1999
Simply Excellent!
Susek in this volume provides a simply excellent treatment of the vicious, destructive nature of church conflict. In the first part of his work he gives the account of an actual church, describing how the sparks of conflict were scattered, the flames were fanned, and the fierce firestorm was unleashed. While Susek's example is extreme for many churches struggling with lesser issues, the ...

Firestorm (An Anna Pigeon Novel)44 reviews
Nevada Barr
Berkley, 2008
Anna Pigeon wins again!
What can I say -- Nevada Barr's Anna Pigeon series is the best. This book is so descriptive as the firestorm races over Anna as she is huddled in her "Shake and Bake" tent. I could feel the heat! And then there are the cold nights in a burned forest. I was freezing!! Thanks to Nevada Barr for another great book.

Brenda Joyce
Avon, 1988
LOVE this book
From the sensuous voice of novelist Brenda Joyce comes Firestorm, the extraordinary first book in the Bragg family saga that has captured the hearts of readers everywhere. Here is the beginning of the Bragg empire-opulent and glamorous-vast, dangerous, and as untamed as the sweeping plains of Texas...
Storm Bragg could outshoot and outride any man, but her family decided it was time she traded ...

Sure, read it. Buy the whole series
This is a great book for people of all ages to read. It's fun, exciting, and you learn about the Land Down Under. It also has great morals. I've read it, and found it very enjoyable. We have the whole series, and aren't disapointed with our purchase. Patrick's little brother Michael hides in a hot air balloon. When the ropes break loose, the balloon goes off, and Michael's caught in! Patrick ...

Into the Firestorm: A Novel of San Francisco, 1906 (Yearling Books)3 reviews
Deborah Hopkinson
Yearling, 2008
*FORTITUDE & GRIT ADD UP TO A RIVETING STORY . . . *
It is hard to imagine a story about the 1906 San Francisco earthquake being anything but riveting. Deborah Hopkinson's thorough research led her to build her novel around Nicholas Dray, a true life runaway from the county farm, befriended by a merchant a few days before the 1906 earthquake and devastating firestorm.
The author's story closely follows archived history and is
exciting for all ...

The Great Earthquake and Firestorms of 1906: How San Francisco Nearly Destroyed Itself6 reviews
Philip L. Fradkin
University of California Press, 2006
Santayana Was Wrong
It seems we are all doomed to repeat history whether we learn from the past or not.
I started reading The Great Earthquake and Firestorms of 1906 a few days before Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast. As a native Northern Californian who has experienced many earthquakes including the Loma Prieta Quake of 1989 (in which a portion of the Bay Bridge and a freeway overpass in Oakland ...

Firestorm (2099)6 reviews
John Peel
Scholastic, 2000
An amazing conclusion to the amazing 2099 series...
The final battle. Clone versus clone. Good versus evil. The entire world's fate hangs in the balance for both Tristan and his evil clone Devon. One of them will get out of it alive. But will Earth? John Peel spins off the last threads of this amazing and thrilling series that have sadly been a mere 6 books. It's amazing, though, how such a short series could be one of the best series out there. ...

Firestorm at Peshtigo: A Town, Its People, and the Deadliest Fire in American History28 reviews
Denise Gess, William Lutz
Holt Paperbacks, 2003
Riviting read
I could not put this book down and I'm normally a fiction reader. It was engrossing and engaging. I have since looked up everything I can about the Pishtigo fire. Having camped there last summer the title caught my eye but the text just kept me reading into the early morning hours. It is so well written you just can't put it down. It has been a long time since I've found a book so ...

Firestorm: Dr. James E. McDonald's Fight for UFO Science (Voyagers)6 reviews
Ann Druffel
Granite Publishing, 2003
Deeply Disturbing
After thirty some years as an occasional UFO investigator I had essentially set the subject aside and even stopped buying books on the subject. When Druffel's exhaustive analysis of Dr. McDonalds private papers came to light I knew I had to buy this one last book on UFO's. It is a fascinating read for anyone who followed alongside at a great distance the events chronicled here. At last an ...

Rachel Caine
Roc, 2006
It's Not Nice to Fool with Mother Nature! Best Weather Warden book yet
Why did I give Firestorm 5 stars? Why do I love it so much more than some of the other reviewers? First, I do not necessarily like my books soft, sappy soap operas that always have a 100% happy ending. I love adventure, adversity, excitement, humor, depth of character and a plot that encourages me to read the novel again and again to catch the nuances I missed the first time (and let's not ...

Gates of Firestorm Peak (AD&D Player's Option Adventure)1 review
Bruce Cordell
TSR, 1996
a great module
In short, this adventure is an elaborate dungeon crawl, with the party getting ever deeper in a mountain. Time is against them... if they fail, a horrible evil could be released, or they could be trapped inside the mountain! This adventure uses the 2nd edition AD&D rules, Player's option version. Now, while this would require some work to convert to the third edition rules, it wouldn't be too ...
