I suppose the main way that I'd describe this book and my main issue with it is misleading. The book summary, title, and cover image suggest something very different from what really happens in the story. The summary never technically says anything that doesn't happen, but combined with the title and cover image, paints a mindset that doesn't match what occurs.

With regard to the story itself, I found the protagonists to be too ineffectual. They were facing stacked odds to be sure, but when the central concept to the story is supposed to be a super-powered entity, their efforts fall very flat. The ending also left me rather dissatisfied, so I can't recommend reading this book.

There's actually no reviews on Amazon whatsoever. I find that somewhat interesting: https://www.amazon.com/Firechild-Jack-Williamson/dp/0812558006
