Burn Box represents Bobby Adair’s return to post-apocalyptic fiction in the 2020s, and the three-book arc tracks survivors through the stages its titles describe: the first spark of crisis, the full spread of catastrophe, and the aftermath that asks what, if anything, can be salvaged. Adair structures the series with the kind of escalating pressure that defined his early work, pulling characters through situations where every decision carries real cost.
The series was written and released in relatively quick succession, which gives it a tighter narrative momentum than some of his longer projects. Fans of Slow Burn who want more recent Adair fiction in the same vein will find familiar rhythms here, though Burn Box stands entirely on its own. Begin with Embers.
