Book Description
Her Death Was Expected but Something More Powerful Kept Her Alive A Science-fiction Story Like They Used to Write..." -Christopher Parkening, premier classical guitarist.
Bestselling author Kathy Tyers' has rewritten her first and favorite science fiction novel to deal more fully with questions of salvation and the search for faith. If you are a fan of science fiction, Christian fantasy, or just great storytelling you will be thrilled by the important themes and intriguing plot.
Lady Firebird was born a princess of the royal family of Naetai. Because of her birthplace in the family, however, her life is expendable. Honorable suicide is the highest calling she could hope to attain. When she is chosen to lead an attack on the neighboring planet of VeeRon her death is expected. She is taken prisoner during the battle and is held by the enemy.
With her own people seeking her sacrifice, Firebird must choose between two worlds before she can carve out her new destiny. This is the story of Princess Firebird's personal spiritual battle and the eternal consequences it has not only for herself but for everyone around her and especially the man who loves her.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT FIREBIRD:
"A science-fiction stunner, wonderfully plotted, and it anticipates the coming Messiah. A must read for people of science and people of faith." Bob Briner, author of The Leadership Lessons of Jesus
"Brilliant! Firebird is romantic and intellectual with a very strong and creative spiritual message. I thoroughly enjoyed it." Kris L., MN

Excellent Sci-fi/romance! (This refers to the 1988 version),
By LadyArwyn "Jean" (Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: FIREBIRD (Mass Market Paperback)
I picked up a copy of the origional 1988 version when it first came out, before it became a "Christian" book. (I don't think it was origionally intended as "Christian" Sci-Fi, but was re-edited to become one after the "conversion" of the author)This book (first edition) really caught my attention, besides being good sci-fi, it is well written and has excellent characterization. It also includes telepathy and a wonderful romance. The villains, however, are rather two dimensional and stereotypically overly sensual, self-important and greedy. While in many ways is is rather typical of the Sci-Fi Romance genre, it is one of the better examples. I don't think I'd recommend it to anyone who prefers "hard" sci-fi. If you are looking for "Christian" fiction, buy a second edition copy of this book, but if you just want good sci-fi romance, look for a first edition copy.

By Rebekah Martin (MI,USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: FIREBIRD (Mass Market Paperback)
I love this book!When I read it for the first time I couldn't put it down until I had finished it. All three of the Firebird Trilogy books were really great although the first one has been my favorite.

An unbielevible breakthrough in science fiction!!!,
By "enigma14" (N.H., USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Firebird (Paperback)
I have never read a better book in my life! From the first page to the ending paragraph,I was totaly thrilled. The action starts building right from the begining, and DOESN'T STOP untill Firebird and Brennon's final fight for freedom. And the whole time everthing seemed bielevible.After I finished reading it the first time I felt like I had just completed their mission with them.I like it because (1)It's loaded with action,(2)It is realistic and (3)Gives a great exsample of a young woman in search of God. I totaly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a great science fiction.
