The Dog Stars: Review
The Dog Stars is a riveting story of unexpected camaraderie
and survival in a post-apocalyptic southwestern US. The protagonist
is living at a small airport and a neighboring (empty) subdivision in
Colorado. He and his one neighbor have survived an extremely deadly
plague and are now fending off the occasional marauders.
The main character has a working small airplane, which he uses to
survey the area and make small trips. As time goes by, he yearns for
more human contact, which he eventually makes, for better or worse.
I highly recommend The Dog Stars. It has a great blend of
apocalyptic bleakness, bonding, and survivalism. There's even a
slight mystery crying out for a sequel.
