If youve not read the book I can see that seems a bit mad, but its the locations of each of the characters explaining how the outbreak started/traveled there. If i had to pick one I'd go with China as that was the epicenter.

Here are my ATY challenge books to add:

The Picture of Dorian Gray and Other Writings - England
My Plain Jane - also England
Such a Fun Age - Pennsylvania, US

Amphibian-BC, Canada
Lovecraft Country - North Eastern USA
A Corpse in the Koryo - North Korea
The Memory Police - Island of Japan
Becoming - USA

US/Miami, Florida When it's Time for Leaving

This one's tricky; they bounce around the world a fair bit, and spend quite a bit of time on an unnamed island in the Pacific, but other than that, it's a tie between Greece and US/New York.
