This book sizzles. It has it all. Day is a cool hard nose Royal Canadian Mounted Police in the year 2176. It's part of the series with three other writers doing 5 books total, but it can be read alone. Book one - Susan Grant's books was really good, but it was clearly a series, but everything hanging. We have to wait until fall to find out how it ends. I really hate WAITING. You can read Nance's book all by itself and it's not hurt.

Day is a tough woman in a rough world, where Canada has been sealed because of plagues released by terrorists. And just as Canada is about to be cleared and the borders reopened, things start going wrong. It's up to Day and her new partner a plague doctor to save the day. They pair sizzle. This is one super read.

I am a fan of all Nance's Children of the Greek Gods series, The Seeker being my absolutely fav. I would leave my hubby for Hugh. But that being, I think Nance really needs to go with this futuristic line. This is her BEST book and if this does not when a RITA they don't know what is good!

This is an amazing book. The second in the 2176 series, I have read book 1 by Grant and book 3 by Maverick. Really looking forward to O'Shea's book when it comes out after reading her first book. But Have a feeling you are looking at THE best book of the series. First three has adventure, book one sort of suffered being the lead book and is basically a tale unfinished because book 5 will be the other half.

But Nance steps up to the plate and hits a home run. Day is one great hero. A by the book RCMP, yet is very much a woman under the cop.

Nance you did GOOD!!

I have always truly enjoyed all of Kathleen Nance's books. She is such a brilliant writer. However, this book blew me away!
The first futuristic book by this writer, she has been doing fantasy, she shines bright here! One fine book!

I have loved Nance's Olympus series books, each one so special. However, with this kick a*** book, she SHINES. This is one of the three best books I have head this year, Robin Owen's Heart Duel and C.J. Barry's Unleashed. Each writer is so strong, so different, just gives us readers such amazing adventures.

Day is such a super character, so strong, so powerful within herself and her world, yet she is a fragile woman underneath and Nance does this tightrope act so well!

Kathleen Nance is a writer that just gets better and better with each novel. Each book amazes me how much control and depth she imbues her book with, making them stand out head and shoulders above the pack. She has been writing two series lines for Dorchester Publishing's Lovespell - the Djinns and the Immortals. Djinns are not your "I Dream of Jeannie" djinns, but strong, sensual characters that keep popping into the mortal world for one reason another. And Nance seems very adapt at creating the two worlds for readers. The Immortals as the children of the Ancient Greek Gods, who are doomed to unhappy lives unless they fall in love with another of these children. Both lines are brilliant conceived, and the world and laws within both take place are amazing. For a writer to be successful in creating alternative/fantasy worlds, they have to SEE it in their minds. If they cannot see, smell, taste and breathe these other worlds, their readers won't either. But Nance is one of the best at this sort of magic.

This new book "Day of Fire" is her first step away from her Djinns and Immortals. I know of few fans will be at first disappointed it's not an Immortal or Djinn - and we will all hope she will return to theses series one day soon. However, they will be floored by this new work. It's is her BEST work yet, and it leaves the reader breathless from first page to the last.

It is the second book in a series of at least five - the first being powerhouse Susan Grant with "The Legend of Bonzai Maguire". Nance's "Day of Fire" finds Day Daniel's as female Mountie in Canada in the year 2176. From first page to last, she keeps you riveted unable to put this book down. Day is a kick a*** ranger on the track of the militant group that killer her partner. Much to dismay she is now forced to take on a new partner, and he is not even a Mountie! Dr. Liam Firebird is a plague-hunter - a doc that tracked down terrorist release virus that saw the US erect a plasma barrier at the border to separate Canada from the US. Since her dead partner tested positive for a new virus they have never seen, it is urgent to track down the No-Borderer Terrorists and stop the release of this new plague.

Day is a by the rules Mountie. She eats sleeps and breathes RCMP; cut her and she bleed maple-sugar. So, being partner with the sexy Doctor who breaks all the rules goes against Day's who sense of what is right. In spite of this total commitment to duty, Day cannot resist falling for the no-rules plague-hunter.

Nance brings post-plague Canada into a vivid sharpness; you don't read this book, you join Day and Liam in a slam-bang wild adventure that leaves you breathless. It's been a joy to see Nance's talent growing with each and every book. But she really outdoes herself with "Day of Fire". Dare we hope for more Day Adventures?

If so, move over J.D. Robb, there is a new futuristic lady of the law!!

"Day of Fire" is the second book in a five book series set in the year 2176. "The Legend of Banzai McGuire," by Susan Grant, was the first of the five books, and introduced the premise that the world has changed greatly since the 21st century due to a series of wars and plagues. The old political boundaries have disappeared, to be replaced by nation-states -- Canada has been isolated from the rest of the world due to repeated smallpox epidemics. Recently, someone known as the Shadow Voice has been broadcasting calls to revolution all over the world, including Canada.

"Day of Fire" skillfully recounts the story of Day Daniels, a 22nd century member of the Canadian Mounties, and her uneasy partnership with Lian Firebird, a plague hunter. Kathleen Nance is an excellent story teller -- she draws the reader in immediately with Day's almost humorous encounter with some college students who take over a huge concrete sculpture of a moose in order to broadcast a message from the Shadow Voice. The encounter quickly turns dangerous and deadly and Day looses her partner to a murderer. On an order from the Prime Minister, Day and Lian become partners so they can discover the person or group who wants to unlease a new plague on Canada.

While the action comes fast and furious, Nance also explores the at first uneasy partnership that is spiced with a strong sexual attraction. Both Day and Lian have baggage from the past that could keep them apart in the future; unlike far too many novels of this type, the conflicts are realistic and not just the result of a contrived misunderstanding. Day and Lian are fully developed characters, and the author also has created memorable secondary charcters as well. This is a much more detailed and complex work than Grant's "Legend of Banzai McGuire" which lead off the series, which is why I rated it as 5 stars and "Banzai McGuire" with 4 stars. Nance has a good ear for dialogue and also a writing style that contains details this reader enjoys in a futurist novel (hockey is still the national sport of Canada & just as prone to violence as it is today, for example).

This is the second book in this series. It's well written and more serious then The Legend of Banzai Maguire. You must read Banzai's book first, or you'll be a little lost at first. This book is a great middle for the series. I love it. Could not put it down!

DAY OF FIRE is the next book in the 2176 series. The first is the LEGEND OF BANZAI MACGUIRE, This book is just as good as the first.

Day Daniels is a RCMP, she is a survivor of the bio-plagues that were unleashed on Canada. She is tough, determined, and very stubborn about the Law she serves.

Lian Firebird is a doctor who has had to face the tragedy of losing his family, as well as fighting for the survival of the citizens of Canada. He also has some very important friends, and some very unusual secrets. He is with Health Canada, an agency that seems to compete with the Mounties for tax money.

Both are strong characters who must find a way to work together. The first thing they have to do is trust each other (easier said than done).

Canada has been quarantined for more than a century. She has had to survive alone.

Kathleen Nance has given us a very believable world. IT is very fine tuned. So many things we take for granted, they have to re-invent in their isolation.

Day is assigned to work with Lian. She is determined to find the killer of her partner Luc.

From the first page to the last we follow a trail of action and adventure as well as a romance.

I loved it and look forward to the rest of the series.
