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?
Thanks all! These are great suggestions, especially the one with the >!mermaids!<. I don’t think she reads a lot of non-fiction but I’ll send all of these her way.
