Descrição
Gruppen består av fyra kvinnor: en antropolog, en lantmätare, en psykolog – den faktiska ledaren – och vår berättare, en biolog. Deras uppdrag är att kartlägga landskapet, att anteckna observationer av sin omgivning, av varandra, och över allt annat, att undvika att själv bli smittade av Område X.
Expeditionen anländer redo för det oväntade, och Område X lever upp till sitt rykte. Deltagarna upptäcker en enorm topografisk anomali och livsformer bortom förståelse. Det är dock hemligheterna som de fört med sig över gränsen som till slut ska förändra allt.

I will be reading the next in the series. I toyed with giving it 5 stars but I save 5 stars for 'wow' books. This was almost there...
