As the threat from Area X grows stronger, the Southern Reach, the agency established to investigate it, begins to crumble from within. Jeff VanderMeer's haunting trilogy stands to become one of SF's most important releases for 2014.

This isn't really a world of call signs and codenames replacing individuality. Control insists they call him that and they actually think it's pretty weird. The assistant director mocks him for it

But consider the fact that none of the expedition members in Annihilation have names, that they are all referred to by their jobs. Most characters through the first two books don’t have names.

@@LaserTagLeague that's more a quirk of the Southern Reach than the world at large, though.

@@LaserTagLeague I think this was supposed to be because you didn't really want to have relationships with your expedition partners as it could either taint the results of your exploration or hasten the disintegration of the expedition itself.

Your reviews are seriously the best. I'm adding this book right now to the To Be Read short list.

You are really good at reviewing, it is equally interesting before and after having read the actual book. Can we hope for a review of Acceptance to complete the trilogy?

After watching this I'm certainly going to add this to the list. Do you think it will be mentioned come Hugo/Nebula season next year?

I do expect to see ANNIHILATION as an awards contender at the very least. Though if we are now qualifying entire series for Best Novel nominations (as with The Wheel of Time for this year's Hugos), the Southern Reach trilogy as a whole could conceivably merit a nod depending on how the third novel turns out.

There was nothing earth shattering in the third book. If you'd made it thus far, give up while you still can because this was the biggest waste of a time trilogy I have ever read. The first book is an obvious hook to get you to buy the second two.
