"The Dog Stars" Screening with Peter Heller
About this Event
Join the Denver Book Society and author Peter Heller to watch the film adaptation of Heller's best-selling book, The Dog Stars (2026), directed by Ridley Scott and starring Jacob Elordi!
Set in a post-apocalyptic world in which a virus has wiped out most of humanity, survivors are terrorized by roaming scavengers called "Reapers." The protagonist is Hig, a pilot who survived the flu that killed everyone he knew, his wife included. He lives in the hangar of a small abandoned airport with his dog, his only neighbor a gun-toting ex-Marine. Hig sometimes heads off in his 1956 Cessna, where he can fish and pretend things are how they used to be. When a random transmission somehow beams through his radio, the voice ignites a hope deep inside him that a better life might exist if he flies a bit further. He risks it all. to chase a possible haven in Grand Junction.
