I can't continue. 60 or so pages in and it's just so dumb. They send a bunch of scientists into a zone and control them with hypnosis? The main character keeps the discoveries to herself and even if she told the others I feel like they wouldn't even care?
I'm sorry but the fact that it's fiction doesn't mean the plot can be this stupid. Reminds me of World War Z but that had at least 50/50 ratio of good and terrible short stories. This is just a terrible novel and once again proof that mainstream means mostly shit. The devil's in the details, in the behaviour of the characters. Alien Covenant is another comparison that comes to mind. Remember how they went to alien planet without scafanders and any other precautions and got infected? Yeah, that's Annihilation all the time.
