But suddenly, it's beginning to expand.                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. Their mission is to map the terrain and collect specimens; to record all of their observations, scientific and otherwise, of their surroundings and of one another; and, above all, to avoid being contaminated by Area X itself.                Get the trilogy that inspired Annihilation, the most anticipated motion picture of 2018, and uncover the dark secrets at the heart of Area X.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53670842532113,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780007987023.jpg?v=1781513220","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-the-southern-reach-trilogy-by-jeff-vandermeer","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
