Southern Reach, Book 3

The highly anticipated third volume of the haunting, disturbing and evocative Southern Reach trilogy.

It is winter in Area X. A new team embarks across the border, on a mission to find a member of a previous expedition who may have been left behind. As they press deeper into the unknown – navigating new terrain and new challenges – the threat to the outside world becomes only more daunting. In this last instalment of the Southern Reach Trilogy, the mysteries of Area X may have been solved, but their consequences and implications are no less profound – or terrifying.

Spectacular

This could easily be my favourite installment of the Southern Reach Trilogy. The story had a tenderness and beautiful, flawed humanity that fit perfectly in the mind-bending, unknowable everything that was the setting. The performances were spectacular, particularly that of the director's narrator. All-in-all, a phenomenal listen.
