The Dog Star

Author: Peter Heller
Stars: 4
Review by: Brookhouse

I don't usually read dystopian novels, but Heller is so good at describing the Colorado terrain (he is basically an outdoors and fishing writer) that nature is one of the primary characters. After a flu epidemic has decimated the US and a drought is drying up the streams and killing the forests, some survivors remain, always on the lookout for desperate marauders.  Basically a love story. His land, his dead wife, his dog, his plane.
