North Wind

"Jones' writing has a flavour all its own" - New York Times Book Review

"one of the best evocations of nonhumans I've read" - Goodreads Reviewer

A hundred years after the invasion, the planet is firmly under extra-terrestrial rule. While the aliens pursue a form of immortality, small bands of human rebels still try to fight back.

Bella is an Aleutian. Sidney Carton is a human. With limited understanding of human cultures and gender, Bella's expectations of society and life are shaped by their own upbringing. However, Bella learns quickly as the pair scour the war-ravaged ruins of Europe. They search for the last vestige of human technology that could be the only hope for saving their civilisation.

North Wind is book two in Gwyneth Jones' critically acclaimed Aleutians Trilogy.
