But a new threat has risen in Paradise Valley, Wyoming. A man known as The Prophet presides over the Church Universal and Triumphant, teaching his followers to continue God's work by destroying the remnants of technological civilization they encounter-and those who dare use them. <br/><br/> Rudi Mackenzie, son and heir of the mystic Juniper, must journey with seven friends across a continent in chaos to the Sunrise Lands to solve the riddle of what destroyed a civilization. And as the friends journey farther into the interior, enemies may be within their own band as well as outside it... 2894220 2007 The Sunrise Lands total:441|5:122|4:186|3:108|2:19|1:6| 441 1722 625 60 3 2 false false Sun Sep 14 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 11 14:25:22 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 15 07:08:36 -0700 2008 Dies the Fire books that centers around the younger generation.

This book can be considered a sequel to Meeting at Corvallis or the beginning of a new Change trilogy. Whatever the category, the book is excellent.
