Description: The Dog Stars, written by Peter Heller, is a 320 page, 6 X 8 3/4 inch hardcover book published by Alfred A. Knopf, New York. The copyright date is 2012, and this is a first edition: the copyright page states "First Edition." The author has signed (signature only, no inscription) a Knopf bookplate affixed to the half-title page. The book is in very good plus condition in a very good plus unclipped ($24.95) dustjacket, with dark blue boards embellished with gilt stars and gilt spine titles. Synopsis - From the publisher: "A riveting, powerful novel about a pilot living in a world filled with loss--and what he is willing to risk to rediscover, against all odds, connection, love, and grace. Hig survived the flu that killed everyone he knows. His wife is gone, his friends are dead, he lives in the hangar of a small abandoned airport with his dog, his only neighbor a gun-toting misanthrope. In his 1956 Cessna, Hig flies the perimeter of the airfield or sneaks off to the mountains to fish and to pretend that things are the way they used to be. But when a random transmission somehow beams through his radio, the voice ignites a hope deep inside him that a better life--something like his old life--exists beyond the airport. Risking everything, he flies past his point of no return--not enough fuel to get him home--following the trail of the static-broken voice on the radio. But what he encounters and what he must face--in the people he meets, and in himself--is both better and worse than anything he could have hoped for." Condition Details - The book has a square spine, a very tight binding, and no marks, tears, turned down page corners or writing. The cover has sharp corners and very light edgewear, no soil or stains. The textblock edges are clean, but the bottom edge is toned. The dustjacket (in new, protective Brodart) has mild edgewear, no tears or soil. No unpleasant odors. I never use stock photos. The item pictured is the item you'll receive, and it will be packed with care regardless of the shipping method. Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
