About the book
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the author of The River: In this \"end-of-the-world novel more like a rapturous beginning\" (San Francisco Chronicle), Hig somehow survived the flu pandemic that killed everyone he knows. His gripping story is \"an ode to friendship between two men...the strong bond between a human and a dog, and a reminder of what is worth living for\" (Minneapolis Star-Tribune).
Hig's wife is gone, his friends are dead, and he lives in the hangar of a small abandoned airport with his dog, Jasper, and a mercurial, gun-toting misanthrope named Bangley.
But when a random transmission beams through the radio of his 1956 Cessna, the voice ignites a hope deep inside him that a better life exists outside their tightly controlled perimeter. Risking everything, he flies past his point of no return and follows its static-broken trail, only to find something that is both better and worse than anything he could ever hope for.
