My girlfriend really likes the Southern Reach trilogy and is thoroughly enjoying Nicholas Binge’s Ascension right now after I lent it to her, so I’m trying to find more books that fit this mold. Along the lines of “an expedition is sent into a mysterious/dangerous/shifting/alien landscape and has to survive when everything gets extremely fucked up.”
So far I’ve suggested Darwinia and Ringworld, but what are some others?
Would you read non-fiction? The Shackleton expedition is the classic example of this
If non-fiction is OK I’d recommend Frozen In Time: The Fate of the Franklin Expedition by Owen Beattie & John Ge or Ice Ghosts: The Epic Hunt for the Lost Franklin Expedition by Paul Watson.
