If you loved the suspense and sense of wonder as Born and his companions braved the perils of the jungle in Midworld, Annihilation will draw you in with its expedition into the enigmatic and dangerous Area X.

If you found the interactions between humans and Midworld's native inhabitants compelling, Speaker for the Dead offers a profound exploration of encountering and empathizing with an alien species.
