This year I discovered an author named Peter Heller. The first book I read was the Dog Stars. It’s about a man and his surviving after a disease wiped out most of the population. This was wrote way before Covid, maybe 2012 or so. He writes it in a way that describes in detail the monotony and simple things that happen everyday after 90% of the population disappears. He finds a friend that likes guns and survival. The main guy knows how to fly. They fix up a plane and fly around looking for supplies. They have to survive intruders to their place. It seems like there’s no point to the story but I think that’s just it. There’s no zombies or government trying to get everyone or any other apocalyptic scenarios. It’s just about surviving one day at a time.
Heller has several books. I liked the Last Ranger and the River as well. I recommend both of those as well. I listened to Burn, his most recent book, and The Guide. Those books had some weird things in them and I didn’t want to keep them so I returned them on audible.
All those I’ve read are written in the same kind of style. A couple of them have a recurring character although you don’t need to read the first for the next to make sense.
He’s a pretty solid writer across the average of the books I’d read. I highly recommend the Dog Stars, the River, and the Last Ranger.
