Hummingbird Salamander
Named one of NPR's Best Books of 2021 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.
Shimmerdark
Xylia is used to suffering. Shipwrecked on a swampy, rocky island, she's spent seven years fighting to stay alive. Survival is particularly challenging in the Connected Lands for the sun sinks below the horizon for a month at a time, and during that long, cold darkness, vicious creatures roam the world. The only reason Xylia has lasted this long is because she can summon Shimmerlight, an energy that can be shaped and controlled.Yet when Xylia is finally rescued, her suffering doesn't end. She was once the heir of the Great Drae, a powerful energy summoner, and because the Great Drae thought Xylia died, she's selected a new heir. Xylia is determined to get her old job back. Unfortunately, that means reuniting with her estranged family, battling monsters, and uncovering the Great Drae's secrets-secrets that will forever change Xylia's understanding of herself and her world.
Dead Astronauts
A 2020 LOCUS AWARD FINALIST Jeff VanderMeer's Dead Astronauts presents a City with no name of its own where, in the shadow of the all-powerful Company, lives human and otherwise converge in terrifying and miraculous ways. At stake: the fate of the future, the fate of Earth—all the Earths. A messianic blue fox who slips through warrens of time and space on a mysterious mission. A homeless woman haunted by a demon who finds the key to all things in a strange journal. A giant leviathan of a fish, centuries old, who hides a secret, remembering a past that may not be its own. Three ragtag rebels waging an endless war for the fate of the world against an all-powerful corporation. A raving madman who wanders the desert lost in the past, haunted by his own creation: an invisible monster whose name he has forgotten and whose purpose remains hidden.
