Annihilation A Novel (10th Anniversary Edition) by VanderMeer, Jeff Format: PaperbackPublished by Picador, 2024 SPECIAL TENTH ANNIVERSARY EDITION Area X has been cut off from the r est of the world for years. Nature has reclaimed the last vestiges of human civilization. Expeditions into Area X have ended in disaster or death. In Annihilation, the first volume of Jeff VanderMeer’s Southern Reach Trilogy, we join the latest expedition. The group is made up of four women: an anthropologist; a surveyor; a psychologist, the de facto leader; and the 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 lifeforms that surpass understanding. But it’s the secrets they carried across the border with them that change everything.Product image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.
