"This is climate fiction at its most urgent and gripping.” Hummingbird Salamander is Jeff VanderMeer at his dazzling, cinematic best, wrapping profound questions into a tightly plotted tale of the fight to survive. The threats come from all around, and time is running out-for Jane and possibly for the world.
Profiteering wildlife smugglers an amoral energy company an extremist’s apocalyptic vision. She was, Jane learns, a reputed ecoterrorist. The author of the mysterious note-Jane’s only real lead-is already dead. She is being followed, her home surveilled, her family in peril. Jane has set in motion a series of events that quickly spin beyond her control.
The key leads her to a pair of taxidermied animals, a hummingbird and a salamander, which turn out to be two of the most endangered creatures on earth. “Jane Smith”-not her real name-receives an envelope that contains a note from a woman she doesn’t know and a key to an anonymous storage unit. From the author of Annihilation, a brilliant speculative thriller of dark conspiracy, endangered species, and the possible end of all things.
