Peter Heller has created a land--our land--in which a flu epidemic has wiped out all but a few. His main character, Hig, and his partner in survival, Bangley, have staked out an existence at a small airport near Denver. Hig's reality is one in which the necessity for brutality and the desire for humanity coexist uneasily. Figuring prominently in this amazing first novel are Hig's dog, their daily recon flights of the surrounding area and an encounter with two survivors who were not expecting visitors. This is a post-apocalyptic novel that brims with hope. ~ Reviewed by Stan Hynds
