Area X has been cut off from the rest of the continent for decades. Nature has reclaimed the last vestiges of human civilization. The twelfth expedition arrives expecting the unexpected, and Area X delivers. They discover a massive topographic anomaly and life-forms that surpass understanding. But it's the surprises that came across the border with them, and the secrets the expedition members are keeping from one another that change everything.

This really hit the mark for me. Very short read, but it had me clinging to the pages. The scenario is peculiar and incredibly eerie. It reminded me of some of Dick's sci-fi short stories, which I'm a fan of. As the first book in the trilogy, it raises more questions than it provides answers, so I'm looking forward to reading the rest and hopefully finding a satisfying resolution.
