A new life for Lady Firebird . . .

Forced to forsake her royal heritage, Lady Firebird now faces new and powerful enemies.

Firebird is pregnant with twins when her new husband, Brennen Caldwell, is left as the only heir to ancient messianic prophecies.

Meanwhile, on another world, Firebird’s sister defects to the enemy camp and is made a prisoner. Brennen’s superiors ask him to try to rescue her, and Phoena’s desperate husband travels light-years trying to enlist Brennen’s aid. But Brennen is not tempted to comply … until a divine dream sends him exactly where he does not want to go.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The innovative use of musical metaphors is highly effective in portraying God as the being who sang the universe into creation, and Mari's continuing journey toward belief realistically portrays a woman of war struggling to understand the Lord of Peace. The Firebird series is the most original Christian [science fiction] series to appear in years and belongs in every collection." — Library Journal ― Library Journal

Excellent Series

I first read this series in high school and I have read it at least 7 times since. It’s one of my very favorites and I never tire of it!

The first book took a while to get into but eventually held me. This book however held from the first,, it intrigued me. That's a funny way to describe it, but it was the first word that came to mind when I thought about describing it. I really enjoyed and plan to reread the series when I have finished all the books in the series as I have the odd feeling that I haven't fully understood the books so far.

There is nothing to dislike and everything to love! This book, and the entire trilogy, is like Mary Poppins- "practically perfect in every way!" You feel love and hate, despair and hope, joy and sorrow, triumph and loss and through it all....faith. One of my favorite trilogy's!!

The Firebird Trilogy has always been one of my favorite science fiction series, I was glad to be able to pick up a copy for my Kindle. Kathy Tyers is an excellent writer, her stories are original and in this series particularly, she emphasizes the power and plan of God in a unique way.

As a long time lover of Sci-Fi, I was blown over by Tyer's ability to weave an epic that is at the same time otherworldly and believable. I highly recommend this series to anyone looking to get lost in a future world unlike any other.

Great sequel in this Christian sci-fi series!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 6, 2017

"Fusion Fire" is the sequel to "Firebird" in the space opera Firebird series by Kathy Tyers. While the original version of Fusion Fire was published in 1987, I read the revised version that was re-published in 2000, and later included in the Firebird Trilogy (2004). Unlike many sequels, this not only lives up to the first book, but in some respects even seems to surpass it!

In this second book, Firebird is now married to Master Sentinel Brennen Caldwell, and is expecting twins. Originally from Naetai, from where she was exiled by her family, she is more and more finding her place Thyrica and accepting its faith. But now Shuhr agents are attempting to wipe out her royal family, including Brennen and Firebird. What can Brennen and Firebird do when her traitorous sister Phoena heads to the Shuhr home world of Three Zed?

In many respects this book continues the fine pattern that Kathy Tyers began in the first book of the series, with a strong and interesting plot that features a lot of action, many invented science fiction concepts related to space travel and combat, and strong Christian themes. I especially appreciated her treatment of the concept of atonement by means of a sacrifice, and also the question of evil and suffering in God's world.

In her author's note dated September 1999 in the revised edition, Kathy Tyers notes that this series isn't a spiritual allegory but "an extended parable of conversion". In the fictional alternate universe that is the world of these novels, she imagines a world without Earth prior to the coming of the Messiah. Salvation for these pre-atonement believers rests on a future event that is pictured by sacrifice of a substitute. In her words: "In `Firebird' I touched on God's existence and His mercy. In `Fusion Fire' I tried to deal with the existence of evil and our separation from God." Her theology is Scripturally sound, and I appreciated how it clearly conveyed the need for a Saviour as a result of "the intimate evil that results from our fallen nature".

These books are good examples of space opera, a subgenre of science fiction sometimes described as emphasizing "space warfare, melodramatic adventure, interplanetary battles, as well as chivalric romance, and often risk-taking. Set mainly or entirely in outer space, this genre usually involves conflict between opponents possessing advanced abilities, futuristic weapons, and other sophisticated technology." Kathy Tyers' work has the feel of an epic story which meets these criteria well, but in addition it has a deeper spiritual message that does a good job of combining science fiction and faith. Highly recommended. - GODLY GADFLY

A Worthy Sequel in this Science Fantasy Series

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 2, 2013

If you enjoyed the Christian version of Firebird, you'll like this one as well. The negative reviews (a solo three star and a lone one star) were by authors who liked the original version better. For me, I read the newer version, and loved it.

There are three reasons a book might take me a while to read (four if you count too much busyness, but that has nothing to do with the book): 1) It's long (not the case of this 317 page book); 2) It's hard to get interested in (not with the opening chapter of this volume); or 3) you're enjoying it so much you just take your time to make it last as long as you can (which is the case here).

If you thought Phoena was a text-book example of a villain, there's more scary ones, that's for Shuhr. This story has plot twists you'll never expect. The characters are very well developed. And Tyers again does a good job of using music descriptions for each chapter.

As mentioned, there are strong Christian themes in this book. If you are intolerant of Christian faith, you might not like this. But those who are more open-minded will find this novel well-crafted, and even more exciting than the original.

I'd love to see this trilogy brought to the big-screen.
