À propos de cet audio

Ten years after the publication of Annihilation, the surprise fourth volume in Jeff VanderMeer’s blockbuster Southern Reach Trilogy.

When the Southern Reach Trilogy was first published a decade ago, it was an instant sensation, celebrated in a front-page New York Times story before publication, hailed by Stephen King and many others. Each volume climbed the bestsellers lists, awards were won, the books made the rare transition from paperback original to hardcover, and the movie adaptation became a cult classic. All told, the trilogy has sold more than a million copies, and has secured its place in the pantheon of twenty-first-century literature.

And yet, for Jeff VanderMeer there was never full closure to the story of Area X. There were a few mysteries that had gone unsolved, some key points of view never aired. There were stories left to tell. There remained questions about who had been complicit in creating the conditions for Area X to take hold; the story of the first mission into the Forgotten Coast—before Area X was called Area X—had never been fully told; and what if someone had foreseen the world after Acceptance? How crazy would they seem?

Structured in three parts, each recounting a new expedition, this book delivers some long-awaited answers, to be sure, but also more questions, and profound new surprises. Absolution is a brilliant, beautiful, and ever-terrifying plunge into unique and fertile literary territory. It is the final word on one of the most provocative and popular speculative fiction series of our time.

Good standalone story with a hard to listen portion of the book

Hard listen towards the twist very repetitive and unnecessary aspects of insanity with a specific character

Disappointing

Loved the original trilogy and was looking forward to this origin story,. Sadly, instead of insight into how Area X came to be, the reader is subjected to one long boring psychedelic trip.

A prequel worth the wait

As a fan of the originals, I couldn't wait for this one to come out. The story is great, a few sections that drag a bit too much but you get so much more insight into what the characters went through/are seeing in the trilogy. The best part was the last section, despite the profanity, which was funny, and then got repetitive, eventually found an equilibrium and works so well. It really is needed to bring you right into the characters mind. An amazing book, hopefully more to come.
