Great take on a post apocalyptic world, that DOES NOT involve zombies for once! Although viruses are unleashed into the atmosphere, it is killing people on the spot rather than turning them. Some die, some suffer side affects, but there are no zombies, yay!
So North is the sequel to South, which I haven't read, and although it would have been nice to have the background story, if you are reading North first, you get enough of the back story to not feel out of touch. Dyce, Ruth and Vida have survived and managed to overcome the deadly viruses and are now based in a secret location North of the border, plotting to kill the culprit who released the viruses, Vida's father! Amongst them are other survivors from the South who have also managed to make it to the secret location, however their intentions may or may not be the same as everyone else's.....
