The 2nd book in the "Southern Reach Trilogy", this is the follow-up to "Annihilation", which blends sci-fi and thriller. Praise for "Annihilation": 'A tense and psychological thriller about an unravelling expedition and the strangeness within. A little Kubrick, a lot of Lovecraft, the novel builds with an unbearable tension and claustrophobic dread that lingers long afterwards. I loved it.' Lauren Beukes, award-winning author of "Zoo City" and "The Shining Girls
