Eleven secret government expeditions and few have returned unscathed - the first book in VanderMeer's exciting new Southern Reach Trilogy and soon to be a major motion picture. "Annihilation" opens with the twelfth expedition. The group is composed of four women, including our narrator, a biologist. Their mission is to map the terrain and collect specimens, to record all of their observations, scientific and otherwise, and, above all, to avoid succumbing to the unpredictable effects of Area X itself. What do they really know about Area X - and each other? Jeff VanderMeer is a two-time winner of the World Fantasy Award.
