Yet beyond all that appeared a book I fell in love with. Their world is pretty bleak and their existence consists of killing people that come too close and making sure they have food to eat. Written by a specialist adventure writer, one character loves his fishing and his plane the other is a gun-toting, all American male. The prose borders on poetry in places, with short, incomplete sentences. The speech is without speech marks and mostly unattributed. If I had read any reviews of The Dog Stars in advance, I probably would have run away from this book. I have four songs on the CD rigged to the amp and the speakers: they are titled Then I would have swooped, cut the engine, played the tape. Had there been wanderers it would have fucked up everything, delayed our hunt. They form an unlikely alliance Hig with his plane for surveillance and Bangley with his guns. His only neighbour is Bangley, a man with a passion for firearms and no qualm about killing. After the flu that killed his wife went on to take the lives of 99.9% of America, he lives with his dog in an abandoned airport.
