Synopsis

A Vision of Fire is the explosive first novel from iconic X-Files star Gillian Anderson and New York Times bestselling author Jeff Rovin: “Fans of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child will find a lot to like” (Publishers Weekly).

Renowned child psychologist Caitlin O’Hara is a single mom trying to juggle her job, her son, and a lackluster dating life. Her world is suddenly upturned when Maanik, the daughter of India’s ambassador to the United Nations starts speaking in tongues and having violent visions. Maanik’s parents are sure that her fits have something to do with the recent assassination attempt on her father—a shooting that has escalated nuclear tensions between India and Pakistan to dangerous levels—but when children start having similar outbursts around the world, Caitlin begins to think that there’s a stranger force at work.

In Haiti, a student claws at her throat, drowning on dry land. In Iran, a boy suddenly and inexplicably bursts into flame. On the Pakistan border, a young man feels a burning in his chest and, against his will, opens fire on Indian troops. With Asia on the cusp of nuclear war, Caitlin must race across the globe and uncover the supernatural links between these seemingly unrelated cases in order to save her patient—and perhaps the world.

The first in a series, A Vision of Fire is a pulse-pounding thriller that will leave you gasping for more.

A baptism of FIRE in writing for a well-known media personality I WANT TO BELIEVE We do not blame words for being insufficient to express new ideas. Yes, you read right, the author of this novel is Gillian Anderson, and yes, she is the very same one who gave life to the character of FBI Spe......more

Updated November 2014: Let’s just get this first thing out in the open. For the rest of her life, Gillian Anderson will always first and foremost be Special Agent Dana Scully, FBI. And just so we’re clear, there are definitely worse things she could be associated with. I was totally batshit obsessed......more

Goodreads review by John on September 06, 2014

I have a friend who declined to join Goodreads when I invited him, because he doesn’t want people to know what kind of book he spends his time reading. He has an agile mind, earned an advanced degree, and knows a foreign language well enough to have published translations of poetry; to say more woul......more

Goodreads review by Branwen Sedai *of the Brown Ajah* on October 14, 2014

I was excited for MONTHS when I found out that Gillian Anderson was writing a book! And a science fiction book no less!?!? Perfect, right? And then the reviews started coming out when the ARC's were released, and they were mostly poor reviews, and my enthusiasm dimmed a little. So it was with slight......more

Goodreads review by Maxine on May 27, 2015

I really enjoyed this book, pure escapism into a fantastical story by the very talented Gillian Anderson, who of course played Agent Scully in the ever popular TV show The X-Files. I am a fan of hers, so was keen to read this book. To be honest, I did not have high hopes after reading some rather sc......more
