A modern eco-thriller. A.V. Club said, "This inventive and surprising page-turner may be the purest demonstration yet of VanderMeer's knack for dressing up fascinating philosophical conundrums in the clothing of a taut, breakneck thriller."

A novel set in the same universe as Borne. NYTBR reviewer Chelsea Leu described it as, "a darkly transcendent novel filled with phantasmagoric visions, body horror and tortured beings traversing a blasted desert hellscape . . . terrifying and so compelling."

Unclassifiable (and that's a good thing). Colson Whitehead had to say, "Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach Trilogy was an ever-creeping map of the apocalypse; with Borne he continues his investigation into the malevolent grace of the world, and it's a thorough marvel." Laura Miller in The New Yorker: "The conceptual elements in VanderMeer's fiction are so striking that the firmness with which he cinches them to his characters' lives is often overlooked."

Strange adventures for the younger and older reader alike. "A head-spinning epic about three friends on a quest to protect the world from a threat as unknowable as it is terrifying." "Perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman and Patrick Rothfuss." --Paste Magazine

Vivid and visceral, a police procedural like you've never read. "In a deserted tenement in an occupied city, two dead bodies lie on a dusty floor as if they have fallen out of the air. One corpse is cut in half, the other is utterly unmarked. One is human, the other isn't. The city of Ambergris is half ruined, rotten, its population controlled by narcotics, internment camps, and acts of terror. But its new masters want this case closed, urgently. Detective John Finch has just one week to solve it or be sent to the camps."
