Havoc is a fiction novel written by New Zealand author, Jane Higgins. Havoc is a sequel to Jane Higgins’s first novel, The Bridge, but after reading Havoc and having never read The Bridge, I personally feel that the novels could be read in either order and still be excellent reads. Havoc is written in first person view and is set in a country where the citizens are in constant danger due to the two sides, Southside and Cityside, being at war. The story follows Nik and Lanya as they, along with Sandor, cross the river, brave the soldiers and venture into Cityside. Read more

Havoc is a fiction book written by New Zealand author Jane Higgins, the sequel to her book The Bridge. The world of The Bridge and Havoc is set in a dangerous city at war, where self-entitled, rich Citysiders fight against the Breken hostiles of Southside. These two novels twist a whirlwind of adventure and suspense, while still acknowledging ongoing problems such as war, racism, class distinction and poverty.

The central idea in these two novels is that a city split into two sides is at war with each other; the Citysiders against the Southsiders.
