In Annihilation, the first volume of Jeff VanderMeer’s now-classic Southern Reach series, Area X has been cut off from the rest of the continent for decades and nature has reclaimed the last vestiges of human civilisation. Expedition after expedition into Area X has failed to uncover its mysteries and the true nature of its danger to the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow a twelfth expedition makes the attempt, a group of four women: an anthropologist, a surveyor, a psychologist 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. A harrowing cosmic mystery at the vanguard of eco-fiction, Annihilation has only become more pertinent to our reality ten years after its first publication.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paperback","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54069277458715,"sku":"9780008139100","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/2533\/7627\/files\/9780008139100.jpg?v=1790801480","url":"https:\/\/www.anpb.co.uk\/products\/annihilation","provider":"A Novel Place Bookshop ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
