From the author of Annihilation, a brilliant speculative thriller of dark conspiracy, endangered species, and the possible end of all things.
Security
consultant “Jane Smith” receives an envelope with a key to a storage
unit that holds a taxidermied hummingbird and clues leading her to a
taxidermied salamander. Silvina, the dead woman who left the note, is a
reputed ecoterrorist and the daughter of an Argentine industrialist. By
taking the hummingbird from the storage unit, Jane sets in motion a
series of events that quickly spin beyond her control.
Soon, Jane
and her family are in danger, with few allies to help her make sense of
the true scope of the peril. Is the only way to safety to follow in
Silvina’s footsteps? Is it too late to stop? As she desperately seeks
answers about why Silvina contacted her, time is running out―for her and
possibly for the world.
Hummingbird Salamander is Jeff
VanderMeer at his brilliant, cinematic best, wrapping profound questions
about climate change, identity, and the world we live in into a tightly
plotted thriller full of unexpected twists and elaborate conspiracy.
