It is a futuristic science fiction book and is part of a trilogy. In the very beginning we are invaded by a sensation of fear of the unknown, because of the information that the biologist offers us. The first book is called "Annihilation", which takes place in Area X: a distant, hidden, and unknown place declared an environmental disaster area many years ago. This area has been devastated by pollution, cloning, and radiation. This area has no contact with the outside, and access is prohibited.
State agency Southern Reach has sent several expeditions that have failed. By suicide of its members, they have gone mad in the last expedition, which gives us doubts about the mission itself. This is the twelth expedition that is sent after 2 years, and 4 women are a biologist, an anthropologist, a psychologist, and a surveyor-- the biologist being the one to narrate the book. Her husband participated in the previous expedition and returned without any memory of what had happened to him. The mission could last for months and they only carried provisions for six months, the rest was in the base camp.
The mission of the expedition is to detail the terrain, bring samples, and write down all your observations of both your environment and your companions in a diary that each one must carry and can not be shared with the others.
In the expedition, they describe an unknown world, and different ways of life. Soon they discover a great geographical anomaly and life forms beyond all understanding. The tower and the lighthouse are the main scenarios of Area X. The tower has representations made through a vegetation. As they descend the tower, they find mysteries and in each of them, finds traces of a greater secret. Apparently, there are strange presences that seek to make clones.
Zone x continues to expand towards islands. In the end, the only survivor of the expedition is the biologist, who finds her husband's diary, and decides to go in search of her husband.
The book is very descriptive but also insinuates many things. It does not leave answers, it leaves the reader his own explanations. Not all the reasons are clarified. Maybe because there is not a proper end of the book.
