The Dog Stars: A Novel by Peter Heller | Conversation Starters

Nine years after a super flu has decimated 99.7% of the human population, we encounter Hig, a survivor of the epidemic who has lost everyone he loves. He lives in a small, abandoned airport hangar in Colorado and accompanied by his loyal dog, Jasper, he patrols the airfield in his 1956 Cessna, checking for threats and occasionally sneaking off for fishing trips in the mountains, a reminder of the good old days. He has a wary partnership with his only neighbor, a hardened, gun enthusiast who anticipated the outbreak his entire life and relishes in his solitude. One day, Hig receives a radio transmission which incites a sense of hope that there may be life beyond his current, bleak existence. He sets past the point of no return risking everything to find the owner of this voice, but what he finds may be more than he bargained for.
