Shorlisted for the Arthur C. Clarke Award 2013. THE ROAD - but with hope.
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 f
rom another pilot, and eventually the temptation to find out who else is still a
live becomes irresistible.
So he takes his plane over the horizon, knowing th
at 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 u
nlike any you have ever read.
