NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE FROM ALEX GARLAND, STARRING NATALIE PORTMAN AND OSCAR ISAAC The Southern Reach Trilogy begins with this Nebula Award-winning novel that reads as if Verne or Wellsian adventurers exploring a mysterious island had warped through into a Kafkaesque nightmare world (Kim Stanley Robinson). Area X has been cut off from the rest of the continent for decades. Nature has reclaimed the last vestiges of human civilization. The first expedition returned with reports of a pristine, Edenic landscape; the second expedition ended in mass suicide; the third expedition in a hail of gunfire as its members turned on one another. The members of the eleventh expedition returned as shadows of their former selves, and within weeks, all had died of cancer. In Annihilation, the first volume of Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach trilogy, we join the twelfth expedition. The group is made up of four women: an anthropologist; a surveyor; a psychologist, the de facto leader; and our narrator, a biologist. Their mission is to map the terrain, record all observations of their surroundings and of one another, and, above all, avoid being contaminated by Area X itself. They arrive expecting the unexpected, and Area X delivers--they discover a massive topographic anomaly and life forms that surpass understanding--but it's the surprises that came across the border with them and the secrets the expedition members are keeping from one another that change everything.Binding Type: PaperbackAuthor: Jeff VanderMeerPublisher: Fsg OriginalsPublished: 02/04/2014ISBN: 9780374104092Pages: 195Weight: 0.35lbsSize: 7.50h x 5.00w x 0.60dAward: Locus Awards - NomineeAward: Nebula Awards - WinnerReview Citations: Library Journal Prepub Alert 09/01/2013 pg. 84Kirkus Reviews 12/01/2013Booklist 12/01/2013 pg. 34Publishers Weekly 12/23/2013Library Journal 01/01/2014 pg. 83New York Times Book Review 02/16/2014 pg. 30Entertainment Weekly 03/21/2014 pg. 66Entertainment Weekly 07/04/2014 pg. 68Entertainment Weekly 08/22/2014 pg. 17Kirkus Best Fiction 11/15/2014 pg. 50SLJ Best Adult Bks 4 Teens 12/01/2014 pg. 32Entertainment Weekly 12/12/2014 pg. 73Library Journal 09/01/2013
