Annihilation este primul volum din trilogia Southern Reach semnată Jeff VanderMeer. Îi urmează Authority și volumul final intitulat Acceptance.
Zona X a fost izolată de restul continentului vreme de decenii. Natura și-a recuperat ultimele vestigii de la civilizația umană.
Prima expediție a însemnat descoperirea unui teritoriu idilic, pur. A doua a însemnat sinuciderea tuturor membrilor echipajului. În a treia totul s-a terminat cu un măcel produs între cei plecați.
În cea de-a unsprezecea expediție, membrii echipei s-au întors ca niște palide umbre a oamenilor care au fost cândva toți murind la câteva luni din cauza unei forme agresive de cancer.
Aceasta este expediția cu numărul 12.
Echipa este formată din patru femei: un antropolog, un topograf, un psiholog și un lider de facto.
Misiunea lor este să extragă mostre din solul Zonei X și să o cerceteze amănunțit în scop științific. Iar cel mai important: să nu se lase contaminate de Zona X.
Sosind și asteptând lucruri surprinzătoare, cele patru femei descoperă o anomalie topografică și forme de viață ce depășesc înțelegerea convențională. Însă secretele pe care femeile și le ascund una celeilalte vor schimba totul.
După cea de-a douăsprezecea expediție care se dovedește dezastruoasă, agenția secretă Southern Reach care monitorează aceste expediții îl numește pe John Rodriguez, cel supranumit "Control" liderul unei noi călătorii primejdioase în adâncurile Zonei X.
Aceste momente au loc în volumul Authority și merg mult mai departe o dată cu descoperirile pe care John le face punând ulterior la îndoială scopul organizației pe care o servește.
Este iarnă în cea de-a treia carte și ultima a seriei numită Acceptance. O nouă echipă se îmbarcă la bordul unei misiuni ce are ca miză găsirea unui membru al unei expediții trecute.
Înaintând în necunoscut, membrii echipajului vor realiza că misterele Zonei X au fost dezlegate, dar consecințele acestor acțiuni sunt profunde și terifiante.

Descriere scurtă
In time for the holidays, a single-volume hardcover edition that brings together the three volumes of the Southern Reach Trilogy, which were originally published as paperback originals in February, May, and September 2014.
""
"Annihilation "is the first volume in Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach trilogy, "Authority "is the second, and "Acceptance" is the third.
Area X-a remote and lush terrain-has been cut off from the rest of the continent for decades. Nature has reclaimed the last vestiges of human civilization. The first expedition returned with reports of a pristine, Edenic landscape; all the members of the second expedition committed suicide; the third expedition died 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 months of their return, all had died of aggressive cancer.
This is the twelfth expedition.
Their 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 and collect specimens; to record all their observations, scientific and otherwise, of their surroundings and of one another; and, above all, to avoid being contaminated by Area X itself.
They arrive expecting the unexpected, and Area X delivers-they discover a massive topographic anomaly and life forms that surpass understanding-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.
After the disastrous twelfth expedition chronicled in "Annihilation," the Southern Reach-the secret agency that monitors these expeditions-is in disarray. In "Authority," 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. And the consequences will spread much further than that.
It is winter in Area X in "Acceptance." A new team embarks across the border on a mission to find a member of a previous expedition who may have been left behind. As they press deeper into the unknown-navigating new terrain and new challenges-the threat to the outside world becomes more daunting. The mysteries of Area X may have been solved, but their consequences and implications are no less profound-or terrifying.
