The bone-chilling, hair-raising second installment of the Southern Reach Trilogy

For thirty years, a secret agency called the Southern Reach has monitored expeditions into Area X—a remote and lush terrain mysteriously sequestered from civilization. After the twelfth expedition, the Southern Reach is in disarray, and John Rodriguez (aka “Control”) is the team’s newly appointed head. From a series of interrogations, a cache of hidden notes, and more than two hundred hours of profoundly troubling video footage, the secrets of Area X begin to reveal themselves—and what they expose pushes Control to confront disturbing truths about both himself and the agency he’s promised to serve.

"Where lies the strangling fruit that came from the hand of the sinner I shall bring forth the seeds of the dead."

Melhor que o primeiro. Amei a construção de personagem do Control, a relação com os pais. Imaginei a Southern Reach numa arquitetura meio brutalista meio retrofuturista. Passei medo real em uma parte específica.

E vamos pro próximo.
