The setting of The Firebird Trilogy is an alternate universe. There is no Earth, but there is a chosen people and a Messiah. The history of the race is quite different, so that spaceflight and even interstellar war have occurred before the knowledge of the Messiah has been spread to the different peoples. In fact, one major difference from our world is that, while Jesus commanded His followers to spread the gospel, in that world, the followers of the Path are forbidden to speak of it until asked. The protagonist is granted, near the end, a momentary vision of "The Eternal Speaker", but the theology of the work is hinted at, rather than bludgeoned home.

The books in the series are available individually as Firebird, Fusion Fire, and Crown of Fire.
