The Southern Reach Trilogy: Annihilation; Authority; Acceptance（Chinese edition）遗落的南境三部曲（星云奖最佳长篇小说，电影《湮灭》原著小说，《三体》作者刘慈欣惊叹推荐、斯蒂芬?金推崇的恐怖迷人之作！）

    《遗落的南境》三部曲包括《湮灭》《当权者》《接纳》三部，围绕解密神秘X区域而展开。

    X区域是一处被遗弃的海岸、一片禁地，是政府口中遭污染废弃之地，也是一片无人区。所有未经批准而准备越过边界的人，倘若不是被边界吸走杀掉就是被政府驻守在此的军队以各种方式干掉。

   离此区域*近的赫德利小城有一处专门研究X区域的机构，南境局。南境局派出的勘探队，要么只有一个人活着回来，要么全军覆没，要么回来后集体患癌而死……整个南境局被这种恐怖而诡异的气氛缠绕着，关于X区域的一切只是猜测，未有定论。

   第十二支勘探队由四名女性科学家组成。她们分别是人类学家、心理学家、勘测员和生物学家。结果她们一位死于神秘生物之手，一位蹊跷从灯塔坠落，一位被队友出于自卫枪杀，只有生物学家一人幸存。奇怪的是，这四个人当中的三个又以“副本”形式回到赫德利。

   关于X区域的困惑又多了一重。新任南境局长就是在这种情况下，空降而来，据说他出自“间谍王朝”。他是一位职业生涯并不辉煌，甚至有些黯淡的人物，他在南境局的工作同样遭遇重重阻力，几乎以失败告终，而这种失败又在某种程度上揭示了一些真相。  

    杰夫·范德米尔：美国科幻文学的中坚力量，拥有一连串的科幻文学荣誉。在创作《遗落的南境》三部曲之前，范德米尔的长中篇《马丁湖的转变》获得了2000年的世界奇幻奖，而他的长篇《芬奇探案记》获得美国星云奖和世界奇幻奖提名，他的非虚构类作品《惊奇之书》获得轨迹奖和英伦科幻奖，并有雨果奖和世界奇幻奖提名。他主编的《海底巨兽3》和《怪谭》都曾赢得世界奇幻奖的*选集奖。

我超爱杰夫·范德米尔的《遗落的南境》三部曲，很恐怖，也很迷人！                                        ——斯蒂芬·金

在神秘莫测的世界中的探险，意境诡异而幽远……                                                                  ——刘慈欣

把我们这么多年来对时空隧道、时空扭曲视觉形象表现得淋漓尽致，极富科幻之魅力！                 —— 郑 重

不是一部传统的科幻，而是融合了科幻、奇幻、悬疑、恐怖等诸多元素的新怪谭。                       —— 王侃瑜

有点儿“库布里克”，非常“洛夫克拉夫特”！                                                                           ——劳伦·伯克斯

     遗落的南境*部《湮灭》是关于一个人的探险，第二部《当权者》是关于一个人的挣扎，而第三部《接纳》则将故事线从多个层面展开，串联起前因后果。担心这部书会烂尾的读者可以放心，作者给出了*后的结局与答案。不过，杰夫·范德米尔并非通常的作家，给出的不是通常意义上的结局与答案，而是带给大家一种另类的体验。                                                  —— 胡绍晏

Annihilation is the first volume in Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach trilogy, Authority is the second, and Acceptance is the third.
Area X-a remote and lush terrain-has been cut off from the rest of the continent for decades. Nature has reclaimed the last vestiges of human civilization. The first expedition returned with reports of a pristine, Edenic landscape; all the members of the second expedition committed suicide; the third expedition died in a hail of gunfire as its members turned on one another; the members of the eleventh expedition returned as shadows of their former selves, and within months of their return, all had died of aggressive cancer.
This is the twelfth expedition.
Their group is made up of four women: an anthropologist; a surveyor; a psychologist, the de facto leader; and our narrator, a biologist. Their mission is to map the terrain and collect specimens; to record all their observations, scientific and otherwise, of their surroundings and of one another; and, above all, to avoid being contaminated by Area X itself.
They arrive expecting the unexpected, and Area X delivers-they discover a massive topographic anomaly and life forms that surpass understanding-but it's the surprises that came across the border with them, and the secrets the expedition members are keeping from one another, that change everything.
After the disastrous twelfth expedition chronicled in Annihilation, the Southern Reach-the secret agency that monitors these expeditions-is in disarray. In Authority, John Rodriguez, aka "Control," is the team's newly appointed head. From a series of interrogations, a cache of hidden notes, and 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. And the consequences will spread much further than that.
It is winter in Area X in Acceptance. A new team embarks across the border on a mission to find a member of a previous expedition who may have been left behind. As they press deeper into the unknown-navigating new terrain and new challenges-the threat to the outside world becomes more daunting. The mysteries of Area X may have been solved, but their consequences and implications are no less profound-or terrifying.
