I liked Dies the Fire and I have The Protector's War on my TBR pile. I picked up a copy of Conquistador as well. It is set in a different universe and was vastly underwhelmed by it.

I'm in 1998 about 2 months after the "event" in Dies The Fire which I am rereading. After that, I think I'll go On the Beach which I believe is set in the 50's (and unbelievably I've never read). ... with a rather obvious problem often overlooked in many other disaster novels - the bodies.
I'm going to add Stirling's Dies the Fire to my TBR list, as I see it recommended a couple of times here. Ditto Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang (which is a lovely title).
Many thanks to everyone. ... Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang by Kate Wilhelm is a great book.

Dies the Fire by S.M. Stirling #3 There were quite a few lucky coincidences in Dies the Fire, but I guess I've come to expect that from a lot of fantasy-type books. And #4 I love The Dark Tower!
And as to the original list, I seriously think I've read The King Awakes and its sequel and I've been trying to remember its ... Wow, that's a lot of books.
