This is the story of Hig, a flu survivor, who with his faithful but elderly dog, Jasper, works hard to survive. Life is tough in the future after the majority of the population has died from a new strain of the flu. There are no zombies, vampires or werewolves in this story, but it is still downright scary! Most of the remaining population are not nice people.
Hig’s only human friend works with him to survive, and he can still fish, hunt, cook, and fly his 1956 Cesna, but Hig misses life as it was. One day he flies beyond his return point in the hope of finding something more. Full of philosophical musings, sometimes meaningful, sometimes less so, this is an enjoyable and high-tension story of characters you will care about. Ignore the swears — life is brutal here.
