Authority

"Authority" is the second book in the Southern Reach Trilogy. In "Annihilation", four women are sent to explore the mysterious Area X, a place where something has happened, but no one knows for sure what. It's been described to the public as an ecological disaster. The explorers uncover a much more Lovecraftian evil. This book picks up at the Southern Reach agency complex outside Area X. John Rodriguez who goes by the nickname "Control" is assigned to the agency as its new head. His assignment is to turn the troubled agency around and find the truth about the area from the biologist from that last expedition. Okay, I cheated. I pulled most of that from the book summary. What was it really about? I'm not sure. I could barely focus on this mess of a novel.
