Knyga patiko, keista mistika ir šalia esančio išprotėjimo įspūdis
Published Feb. 14, 2001 by Fourth Estate Ltd.
For thirty years, a secret agency called the Southern Reach has monitored expeditions into Area X, a remote and lush terrain mysteriously sequestered from civilization. After the twelfth expedition, the Southern Reach is in disarray, and John Rodriguez is the team's newly appointed head. From a series of interrogations, a cache of hidden notes, and more than two hundred hours of profoundly troubling video footage, the secrets of Area X begin to reveal themselves.

good lord jeff really didn't know what was good about Annihilation did he
From Jeff Vandermeer—inarguably the hardest-working man in publishing—comes the sterling second volumes of his Southern Reach Trilogy. After the events of Annihilation (review here), Vandermeer shifts focus from the explorers travelling through the mysterious Area X to the bureaucrats and scientists of the not-much-less-mysterious Southern Reach, a government installation devoted to parsing the unutterably strange aforementioned area. Completely switching viewpoints, style, and overall presentation, Authority is a brilliant continuation of one weird-ass series, and I’m dying to get my hands on the concluding novel Acceptance.
