I loved this even better than the first book, a masterpiece - Annihilation. The narrative has a dark, compelling and bleary ambience. It also has a visceral quality to it. I felt all the confusing and combobulating thoughts the main character underwent. Such a dark and delicate book this is!
The biologist who got possessed by whatever animal/organism there is in the Area X of Hadley town is back among people. She is found in a zombie state, staring at an empty lot and is brought in for questioning. The director, John Rodriguez, is newly brought in by his mother's string pulling. As he questions the biologist and uncovers the last few months of the last director's life before she disappeared into the Area X , he starts slowly to sink into a state of obsession like all those people who have gone into the Area X on different expeditions. Realizing the uselessness of his and the higher authories at Southern Reach's effectiveness against the Area X's power, he makes a run for his life. But where can he go ? Where can he hide against the overwhelming reach of the place? He meets the biologist on another plane almost and they both make a dive back. Can their fates be un-entwined now ? Intriguing read!
