A singular post apocalyptic science fiction book, no sequel or prequel that I know of. I read the well printed and well bound trade paperback published by Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group in 2012 that I bought new on Amazon in 2026.
The book starts several years after more than 99% of the human population is killed by a SuperFlu followed by a blood disease similar to AIDS. Hig lives in an an abandoned airport with his dog Jasper. His prepper buddy lives in the house next door and protects them from the armed scavengers. Hig flies an old Cessna around, trying to warn off the armed scavengers but some are stupid anyway and try to steal their food and arms. And then things change yet again and Hig is devastated.
The movie by Ridley Scott is coming out in August 2026. I look forward to seeing it.
