<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"South takes place in a USA ravaged by Civil War. It's been 30 years since the first wind-borne viruses ended the war between North and South--and still they keep coming. Every wind brings a new and terrifying way to die. The few survivors live in constant fear, hiding from the wind--and from each other. In this harsh Southern expanse, brothers Garrett and Dyce Jackson are on the run from brutal law-enforcers. They meet Vida, a lone traveler on a secret quest. Together, they will journey into the dark heart of a country riven by warfare and disease. This is the story of Dyce and Vida. This is the story of end-time. This is the story of The Cure and how it came too late. This is the story of South."--Provided by publisher.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>South </i>takes place in a USA ravaged by Civil War.

I loved it." --Lauren Beukes, author, <i>The Shining Girls</i><br><br>"South is an absolute blinder of a book. With its cracking pace, unforgettable characters, deliciously gruesome premise and you-won't-see-them-coming twists, if this doesn't make 'book of the year' shortlists, I will eat my Stetson. <i>The Sisters Brothers </i>meets <i>The Stand</i>, it's a post-apocalyptic genre game changer." --Sara Lotz<br><br>"There are echoes of Cormac McCarthy's <i>The Road </i>and Stephen King's <i>The Stand</i>, plus graphic violence and heart-stopping action set pieces, but what lifts South above many recent examples of the subgenre is Owen's pared-down prose, slick narrative and the sensitive depiction of Dyce and Vida's relationship." --<i>Guardian</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Frank Owen </b>is the pseudonym for two authors--Diane Awerbuck and Alex Latimer.
