A novel about the end of the world which makes you happy to be alive.

Hig, bereaved and traumatised after global disaster, has three things to live for - his dog Jasper, his aggressive but helpful neighbour, and his Cessna aeroplane. He's just about surviving, so long as he only takes his beloved plane for short journeys, and saves his remaining fuel.

But, just once, he picks up a message from another pilot, and eventually the temptation to find out who else is still alive becomes irresistible. So he takes his plane over the horizon, knowing that he won't have enough fuel to get back. What follows is scarier and more life-affirming than he could have imagined. And his story, The Dog Stars is a book unlike any you have ever read.

Industry Reviews

Dog Stars is the rare kind of book that can reduce a reader to pieces in a few lines. That makes it good. But what makes it great is its commitment to the things that make life worth living. No matter how dark it gets, there's an uplifting sense of hope that never goes out. Peter Heller wrote a love song to the end of the world and it's impossible not to sing along.
