NYT bestselling writer Jeff VanderMeer has been called “the weird Thoreau” by the New Yorker for his engagement with ecological issues. In Authority, the second volume of Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach trilogy, Area X's most disturbing questions are answered. But with each discovery he must confront disturbing truths about himself and the agency he's pledged to serve. Working with a distrustful but desperate team, a series of frustrating interrogations, a cache of hidden notes, and hours of profoundly troubling video footage, Control begins to penetrate the secrets of Area X. John Rodríguez (aka "Control") is the Southern Reach's newly appointed head. Following the tumultuous twelfth expedition chronicled in Annihilation, the agency is in complete disarray. The bone-chilling, hair-raising second installment of the Southern Reach TrilogyĪfter thirty years, the only human engagement with Area X-a seemingly malevolent landscape surrounded by an invisible border and mysteriously wiped clean of all signs of civilization-has been a series of expeditions overseen by a government agency so secret it has almost been forgotten: the Southern Reach.
