The Dog Stars
Author: Peter Heller
Desc: Hig somehow survived the flu pandemic that killed everyone he knows. Now his wife is gone his friends are dead and he lives in the hangar of a small abandoned airport with his dog Jasper and a mercurial gun-toting misanthrope named Bangley. But when a random transmission beams through the radio of his 1956 Cessna the voice ignites a hope deep inside him that a better life exists outside their tightly controlled perimeter. Risking everything he flies past his point of no return and follows its static-broken trail only to find something that is both better and worse than anything he could ever hope for.
