Reviews
"Set in a world far along the path to ecological and political breakdown, this striking mix of thriller and biotech speculative fiction from VanderMeer charts a seemingly mad quest by its anonymous narrator. . .Exquisite prose pulls the reader deep into the labyrinthine plot. VanderMeer reinforces his place as one of today's most innovative writers." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "VanderMeer moves from fantasy into noir territory with this version of an eco-thriller. . .Jane has a number of things in common with Stieg Larsson's heroine: She can pound most dudes into tapioca, and she's pretty handy with a gun and a computer, too. . .It wouldn't be a VanderMeer story, no matter what the genre, without a post-apocalyptic turn, and after all the assorted villains (one of them in particular very evil indeed) and oversized amphibians and mad-scientist taxidermists and exploding heads, it's sort of nice to get to a future that no one will survive--one that strongly resembles 2020, for that matter. A daring change of genres, and an entertaining whirlwind at that." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "[T]he news cycle may be chaotic right now, but we've got book news to offer a balm -- especially for Jeff VanderMeer fans. The best-selling Annihilation author will be releasing another deliciously dark tale, this time covering everything from conspiracy theories to endangered species." --Seija Rankin, Entertainment Weekly " Hummingbird Salamander is harrowing, gripping, and profound. It's both a thriller and a requiem for a disappearing world. I expect this novel will haunt me for a long time." --Emily St. John Mandel "Jeff VanderMeer's Hummingbird Salamander is an existential mindfuck cleverly disguised as a thriller. Though the plot never stops rocketing forward, this astonishing novel continually shifts and expands in scale, until the puzzle the narrator is tasked with solving at the outset becomes an almost Matrix-like invitation to open herself up to a new and shattering understanding of her world, and ours. Visionary, dark, beautiful, and strange, Hummingbird Salamander is that rare novel that coaxes you into imagining the unimaginable." --Kristen Roupenian, author of You Know You Want This: Cat Person and Other Stories "A strange, seductive eco-thriller ripe for our era." --Silvia Moreno-Garcia, author of Mexican Gothic "This is an astonishing book, topical and madly compelling. A timely, unsettling novel of obsession and descent--a thriller equal parts ecological and psychological, whose puzzle warns of a natural world on the edge of ruination. There's an urgency to it, but it's not preachy. VanderMeer shines in revealing our current dystopia." --Chuck Wendig, bestselling author of Wanderers " Hummingbird Salamander is a profound and incendiary thriller hurtling backward from the end of the world. Jeff VanderMeer's tale of ecological and personal obsession inhabits that strange, surreal space where the natural world and human ambition collide - a space almost no other writer has chronicled with as much reverence and imaginative lucidity. The result is a detective story unlike any I've read before, futuristic in bearing but deeply relevant to this present, dangerous moment." --Omar El Akkad, award-winning journalist and author of American War "This gripping eco-thriller pulls readers into a world of danger, mystery, and obsession. Surprising, suspenseful, and compelling, Hummingbird Salamander is in turns insidious and explosive, heartrending and beautiful. Riveting." --Meg Gardiner, Edgar-Award-winning author of the UNSUB series, " Hummingbird Salamander is harrowing, gripping, and profound. It's both a thriller and a requiem for a disappearing world.

Every word here feels carefully chosen; every sentence has a purpose; every plot point causes ripples felt through the rest of the story. . .The author''s devoted fans will flock to this novel, and they will be richly rewarded. Switching genres with aplomb, VanderMeer knocks his conspiracy thriller out of the park." --BOOKLIST (starred review) "Set in a world far along the path to ecological and political breakdown, this striking mix of thriller and biotech speculative fiction from VanderMeer charts a seemingly mad quest by its anonymous narrator. . .Exquisite prose pulls the reader deep into the labyrinthine plot.

Synopsis
From Jeff VanderMeer, the author of Annihilation , comes a brilliant speculative thriller of dark conspiracy, endangered species, and the end of all things., Named one of NPR's Best Books of 2021 From the author of Annihilation , a brilliant speculative thriller of dark conspiracy, endangered species, and the possible end of all things. Security consultant "Jane Smith" receives an envelope with a key to a storage unit that holds a taxidermied hummingbird and clues leading her to a taxidermied salamander. Silvina, the dead woman who left the note, is a reputed ecoterrorist and the daughter of an Argentine industrialist. By taking the hummingbird from the storage unit, Jane sets in motion a series of events that quickly spin beyond her control. Soon, Jane and her family are in danger, with few allies to help her make sense of the true scope of the peril. Is the only way to safety to follow in Silvina's footsteps? Is it too late to stop? As she desperately seeks answers about why Silvina contacted her, time is running out--for her and possibly for the world. Hummingbird Salamander is Jeff VanderMeer at his brilliant, cinematic best, wrapping profound questions about climate change, identity, and the world we live in into a tightly plotted thriller full of unexpected twists and elaborate conspiracy.
