Authority

Thirty years later, humanity's only connection to Area Exploration teams are sent one after another to this geography, surrounded by an invisible border, malevolent, and where all traces of civilization have been erased. However, after the return of the twelfth expedition team in Annihilation, the organization's order is completely disrupted. John Rodriguez is appointed to head Southern Reach as Control. Forced to work with a suspicious, helpless team, Control gradually begins to understand the secret of Area X, after encountering a series of frustrating interrogations, hidden notes and hours of truly disturbing video footage. In Authority, the second book of Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach Trilogy, the most troubling questions about Area X will be answered... But the answers will not be satisfactory at all. “A must-have, disturbing piece of work – just like the old adventure stories, only stranger, better written, and never gets old!” -Karen Joy Fowler, BookPage- “The most wonderful thing about Annihilation is the strange, indescribable, paranoid world it creates. The most amazing thing about The Authority is that it turns all the standards we think we know about the world upside down, disrupts the balance, makes everything more strange and indescribable, and drags us into paranoia. “A second fascinating book following another fascinating book.” -Brian Evenson, author of Last Days- “If Annihilation is an exploration novel full of strangeness, The Authority is an espionage novel that proceeds in the same style… In this case, I wonder how the third book will be, I wonder if it will be a mixture of Jurassic Park and James Bond, or a third kind. “A different approach?” -Robin Sloan, author of The Secret of the 24-Hour Bookstore-
