Annihilation

It is basically the pilot episode of the TV Show “Lost”. Very unsatisfying but promising and interesting. Unfortunately this is not a pilot but a whole book.

After finishing it I have more questions than answers, it seems the author set it up that way so you will buy book 2. With just 200 pages that feels just wrong. If you subtract the dreadfully boring ramblings of the protagonist's past and marriage it is little more than a prologue of a real book. If it had a proper ending or at least some resemblance of an ending or would even answer one question I would maybe give it three stars.
