A life-affirming dystopian tale of global disaster, survival, and belief.

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 listened to.

'THE ROAD crossed with a post-apocalyptic romance...[engages] deep emotions to spine-chilling (and suspenseful) effect' Lawrence Norfolk, Guardian Books of the Year

The characters and the storytelling were great. Witty "twists", the characters were relatable but not dull, very good narration also.

Immersive

A poetic day-dreaming soul survives the day-to-day of grim dystopia, chugging along alongside his post traumatic stress and grief, and bringing the reader along with his meandering day-dreaming and distracted musings, even in the midst of life and death gun fights. This is a gentle and at times dramatic tale, that speaks of the need for connection, companionship, hope and healing, even in a world of cut-throat survivalism.

Flowery language, stretched out in places, but compelling plot that kept me hooked. Frightening in the post-apocalyptic detail, with good insights into human behaviour.

Realistic detail, good tension.

Loved the narrator character and the actor reading the tale. Nice twist on apocalyptic futures.

Reflective end of the world story
