COPY ISBN

This omnibus would be a treat for anyone who missed the paperback releases of VanderMeer's dizzyingly imaginative trilogy about a remote, lush region where phenomena beautiful and horrific lurk around every turn. It combines Annihilation, Authority, and Acceptance, all published earlier this year. (A 2014 Best SF, see p. 31)
