Absolution: A Southern Reach Novel.

"Absolution: A Southern Reach Novel" by Jeff VanderMeer is a book that expands on the enigmatic Southern Reach trilogy. The novel consists of three narratives that reveal new information about the mysterious Area X. The story follows Old Jim, a reluctant agent of a secret government organization called Central, as he uncovers 20-year-old archives from the first expedition to Area X. These archives reveal the presence of time dilations, animal mimics, a lighthouse emitting green energy, and a mysterious figure known as the Rogue. VanderMeer creates a tense and creepy atmosphere in these narratives, which both entertain and disturb the reader. [Extracted from the article]
