<p><strong>'Astonishing, frightening, spectacular'</strong><em>NEW STATESMAN</em></p><p><strong>'A lasting monument to the uncanny'</strong><em>GUARDIAN</em></p><p><strong>'Chilling'</strong><em>NEW YORK TIMES</em></p><p><strong>A <em>NEW YORK TIMES</em>BESTSELLER</strong></p><p><strong>With an introduction by N. K. Jemisin</strong></p><p>After thirty years, the secret government agency known as the Southern Reach has been unable to solve the mysteries of Area X, a seemingly malevolent landscape wiped clean of human civilisation. Or is "pristine wilderness" a better description? Expedition after expedition has failed to come up with answers, often disastrously. The Southern Reach, in the process, has become a backwater agency, forgotten and underfunded despite the urgency of its mission. Following the tumultuous twelfth expedition chronicled in <em>Annihilation</em>, the agency is in complete disarray.</p><p>Enter John Rodriguez (aka "Control"), the Southern Reach's newly appointed director. Working with a distrustful team desperate for success, Control must navigate a maze of frustrating interrogations, a cache of hidden notes, and hours of profoundly troubling video footage. What does it all mean? Can he reach some kind of understanding before it's too late?</p><p>In <em>Authority</em>, the second volume of Jeff VanderMeer's <em>Southern Reach Trilogy</em>, many of Area X's most disturbing questions are answered ... but the answers are far from reassuring.</p><p><strong>'Very, very scary!'</strong><em>WIRED</em></p><p><strong>'Extraordinary'</strong><em>SLATE</em></p><p><strong>'Successfully creepy'</strong><em>WASHINGTON POST</em></p>
