There are echoes of Cormac McCarthy's The Road and Stephen King's The Stand, 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. — Guardian
South takes place in a USA ravaged by Civil War. It's been thirty 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 traveller 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.

    Survival was fine, but Felix thought that a man needed a purpose. And a purpose went hand in hand with community. ‘Love and service,’ he said softly. Take that away, and the mind went with it. How did you hold on to your sanity?
