Author Peter Heller returns to the Northwest Passages Book Club to discuss his bestselling novel, “The Dog Stars,” and the book’s journey from page to big-screen thriller directed by Ridley Scott.
Heller will be in conversation Sept. 10 with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Edward Humes at the Bing Crosby Theater.
“The Dog Stars” centers around Hig, a pilot who lives in an abandoned airport hangar with his dog and an ex-marine after an epidemic devastates the planet. When Hig intercepts a random radio transmission, he leaves their compound believing that somewhere humanity still exists.
“The Dog Stars” adaptation is set for release Aug. 28 in theaters. Scott, whose previous films include “The Martian,” “Alien,” “Blade Runner” and “Gladiator,” is directing and producing the film. The cast includes Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin and Margaret Qualley.
Peter Heller previously joined Northwest Passages readers to share his novel, “The River.” He is the author of four books of literary nonfiction and an award-winning adventure writer. He also is a contributor to NPR, and a former contributing editor at Outside Magazine, Men’s Journal, and National Geographic Adventure. Heller lives in Denver.
Edward Humes, also a previous Northwest Passages guest author, has written 17 nonfiction books, including “Total Garbage,” The Forever Witness” and “Mississippi Mud.”
