'A contemporary masterpiece' Guardian THE SECOND VOLUME OF THE
EXTRAORDINARY SOUTHERN REACH TRILOGY - NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE
WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY ALEX GARLAND (EX MACHINA) AND STARRING
NATALIE PORTMAN, OSCAR ISAAC, GINA RODRIGUEZ AND TESSA THOMPSON
Following the disastrous twelfth expedition chronicled in
'Annihilation', the second book of the Southern Reach trilogy
introduces John Rodriguez, the new head of the government agency
responsible for the safeguarding of Area X. His first day is spent
grappling with the fall-out from the last expedition. Area X itself
remains a mystery. But, as instructed by a higher authority known
only as The Voice, the self-styled Control must battle to 'put his
house in order'. From a series of interrogations, a cache of hidden
notes and hours of profoundly troubling video footage, the
mysteries 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. Undermined and under pressure to
make sense of everything, Rodriguez retreats into his past in a
labyrinthine search for answers. Yet the more he uncovers, the more
he risks, for the secrets of the Southern Reach are more sinister
than anyone could have known.
