Resumen del Editor

The first novel from iconic X-Files star Gillian Anderson and New York Times best-selling author Jeff Rovin: a science fiction thriller of epic proportions.

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. Caitlin is 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 teenagers around the world start having similar outbursts, Caitlin begins to think that there’s a more sinister force at work.

In Haiti, a student claws at her throat, drowning on dry land. In Iran, a boy suddenly and inexplicably sets himself on fire. Animals, too, are acting irrationally, from rats in New York City to birds in South America to ordinary house pets. With Asia on the cusp of nuclear war, Caitlin must race across the globe to uncover the mystical links among these seemingly unrelated incidents in order to save her patient - and perhaps the world.

Wonderful story!

This is an enthralling book that sucks you in and won't let go. I would highly recommend it.

Great!!

Gillian is an AMAZING audio performer!! The book itself is fantastic aside from a couple somewhat lame terms. Awesome altogether though!

fun read

interesting story. great female characters. Gillian's voice is smart, sexy, believable and feels like home all at once. was great to have her narrating in the background of my day to day for awhile.

Gripping!

I will admit that I bought this book because I'm a huge fan of gillian anderson. But from the first chapter you're hooked. It's epic and yet relatable and I loved many of the characters. Plus I was super impressed by Gillian's accents. Definitely worth a listen!

She's such a good reader!

Gillian Anderson's reading is immersive. Her attention to detail is admirable, when it comes to making all of the characters distinct and recognizable. The various voices and accents are surprisingly constant throughout, not because of her ability but because of the sheer number. It's definitely better as an audiobook than a print book, but that's probably because I get Gillian Anderson's voice to keep me company in the car.

If you expected something a bit X-Files-y ....

If you could sum up A Vision of Fire in three words, what would they be?

If you expected something a bit X-Files-y from Ms. Anderson, you will not be disappointed, though it falls more into Sci-Fi / WooWoo....story a bit confusing to follow, but overall enjoyable. Ms. Anderson's narration was top notch, as it should be.

Entertaining!

Enjoyed the story, characters, and Gillian Anderson reading the book. Look forward for the next installment!

Great Story!
