About this listen
A riveting, powerful novel about a pilot living in a world filled with loss - and what he is willing to risk to rediscover, against all odds, connection, love, and grace.
Hig survived the flu that killed everyone he knows. His wife is gone, his friends are dead, he lives in the hangar of a small abandoned airport with his dog, his only neighbor a gun-toting misanthrope. In his 1956 Cessna, Hig flies the perimeter of the airfield or sneaks off to the mountains to fish and to pretend that things are the way they used to be. But when a random transmission somehow beams through his radio, the voice ignites a hope deep inside him that a better life - something like his old life - exists beyond the airport.
Risking everything, he flies past his point of no return - not enough fuel to get him home - following the trail of the static-broken voice on the radio. But what he encounters and what he must face - in the people he meets, and in himself - is both better and worse than anything he could have hoped for.
Narrated by a man who is part warrior and part dreamer, a hunter with a great shot and a heart that refuses to harden, The Dog Stars is both savagely funny and achingly sad, a breathtaking story about what it means to be human.

Great listen
Narrator is amazing. I was stuck sitting in my car waiting to hear how a chapter would end on several occasions. Probably my top pick on audible. #audible1

Just a great story.
No political or flag waving noise, just a great story to make a reader ponder what might become of any of us. Well told and believable.

Different...but not in a bad way
It took a little to get used to the authors style, but I have to say, I really enjoyed this dystopian tale.

I didn't like the writing style at all!
The author thinks he's a poet, not great for writing an end of days action novel. I tried to return it but Audible said no. waste of a credit.
