Annihilation

📘 The first volume of the extraordinary Southern Reach Trilogy - now a major motion picture written and directed by Alex Garland (Ex Machina) and starring Natalie Portman And Oscar Isaac
For thirty years, Area X has remained mysterious and remote behind its intangible border - an environmental disaster zone, though to all appearances an abundant wilderness.

The Southern Reach, a secretive government agency, has sent eleven expeditions to investigate Area X. One has ended in mass suicide, another in a hail of gunfire, the eleventh in a fatal cancer epidemic.

Now four women embark on the twelfth expedition into the unknown.
