Nature has reclaimed the last vestiges of human civilization. Expeditions into Area X have ended in disaster or death.\nIn 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.\nThey 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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1250824044\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1250824044.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:VanderMeer, Jeff|Fowler, Karen Joy\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
