So there's this book I remember from when I was a kid, and I remember enjoying the hell out of it. It might even have been a series of 2 books, my memory is hazy. Anyway, key plot points: It takes place in a post apocalyptic world where people are hunted by giant metal birds that breath fire. When one of these birds gets destroyed or crashes or something it's filled with a red hot orange gel that's supposedly the fuel for the fire weapons. It had real "War of the Worlds" vibes too it, but no I haven't gotten it confused with that because I remember reading War of the Worlds not long afterwards because my school librarian gave me the "If you liked that you'll love this" speech about it. Now I remember the title as being "The Firebirds" but a casual google reveals about a million books with that title and casual rooting around with vague plot details in google yields no result. If anyone can remember this book/books please for the love of god tell me as it's driving me mad.
