    Area X has been cut off from the rest of the world for decades. Nature has reclaimed the last vestiges of human civilization. The first expedition returned with reports of a pristine, Edenic landscape; the second expedition ended in mass suicide, the third in a hail of gunfire as its members turned on one another. The members of the eleventh expedition returned as shadows of their former selves, and within weeks, all had died of cancer. In Annihilation, the first volume of Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach Trilogy, we join the twelfth expedition. The group is made up of four women: an anthropologist; a surveyor; a psychologist, the de facto leader; and our 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—but it’s the surprises that came across the border with them and the secrets the expedition members are keeping from one another that change everything.

    For thirty years, the only human engagement with Area X has taken the form of a series of expeditions monitored by a secret agency called the Southern Reach. After the disastrous twelfth expedition chronicled in 'Annihilation', the Southern Reach is in disarray, and John Rodriguez, aka 'Control, ' is the team's newly appointed head. From a series of interrogations, a cache of hidden notes, and hours of profoundly troubling video footage, the secrets of Area X begin to reveal themselves - and what they expose pushes Control to confront disturbing truths about both himself and the agency he's promised to serve

    This single-volume hardcover edition compiles the three volumes of the Southern Reach Trilogy, originally published in 2014. The narrative begins with a remote and lush terrain known as Area X, which has been isolated for decades, allowing nature to reclaim human civilization. The first expedition reported a pristine landscape, while subsequent teams faced tragic fates: suicides, violent deaths, and aggressive cancers. The twelfth expedition consists of four women—a biologist, an anthropologist, a surveyor, and a psychologist—tasked with mapping the area and collecting specimens, all while avoiding contamination from Area X. They encounter a massive topographic anomaly and life forms that defy understanding, but the real surprises come from the secrets each member harbors. Following the disastrous twelfth expedition, the Southern Reach agency is in turmoil. In the second volume, John Rodriguez, known as "Control," becomes the new head and uncovers disturbing truths about Area X through interrogations, hidden notes, and troubling footage, forcing him to confront his own identity and the agency's purpose. The final volume sees a new team entering Area X in winter to locate a missing expedition member. As they delve deeper, the threats to the outside world grow, revealing that while some mysteries may be solved, the consequences remain profoundly unsettling.
